The importance of good architectural design

As cloud computing has become an indispensable component of modern IT infrastructure, the need for good architectural design in cloud systems has become more important than ever. The complexity and scale of cloud-based services demand careful planning, strategic design, and thorough implementation to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Scalability and elasticity

Cloud architectures designed with scalability and elasticity in mind enable organizations to grow or shrink their infrastructure according to the fluctuating demands of their workloads. Scalability refers to the ability to increase or decrease hardware and software resources relative to fluctuations in system resource usage. Scaling is often a pain point in implementing larger systems, as it requires manual oversight and intervention when responding to the increased load. What often happens is that we scale up and rarely scale down, so we cannot...
