Cloud Application Development

Cloud Application Development – NorthBay Solutions

Cloud Native is about how applications are created and deployed, not where. At NorthBay, Cloud Native applications are developed and deployed in an agile DevOps high velocity iterative cadence by small, dedicated feature teams to a platform that offers easy scale-out and hardware decoupling such as AWS. This methodology provides our customer organizations with significantly greater agility, resilience, and portability across cloud environments.

Time-to-value, delivering better Customer Experience: The ability to release new functionality with improved customer experiences increasingly sets the most innovative organizations apart from their trailing competition.
Productivity gains with ease of management: Innovations like Server-less environments free up valuable time for scarce DevOps talents and pervasive automation creates efficiencies of scale and convenience.
Business impact and lower cost: Standardization and the demise of costly proprietary technologies drive down cost, and the enhanced velocity and Customer Experience improvements create greater business value.

Portability matters

These Cloud environments can also include on-premise data centers (i.e. hybrid cloud) or other Cloud providers (i.e. multi-cloud), providing customers the ability to ‘develop an application once, deploy on any cloud’. With many organizations still needing to maintain applications and data on premise, application portability is essential especially for hybrid clouds.
