Deciding on the Best Cloud-Based Solution

When designing your application to make it cloud-based, you must understand different architectural designs – from the simplest to the most sophisticated. In fact, cloud technology not only enables cost optimization but also significantly reduces the time it takes to launch your solution to the market. Also, it effectively enhances your application’s ability to tolerate faults and scale. However, optimizing for cost, speed, resilience, and scalability often involves trade-offs in terms of constraints and flexibility, so you must choose the right compromise for your needs.

This chapter discusses different software architecture models and teaches you how to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the cloud in your solutions. This chapter will also discuss the different types of cloud service that we can consider while developing our infrastructure, what the ideal scenarios are, and where we can use each of them.
