Cloud Application Development

Many initiatives are taken by enterprises to implement a new application or migrate their legacy application to the cloud environment. Most of them end up just hosting the application using a VM provided by the cloud service provider. With our years of experience, we learned why these initiatives fail. We found a pattern and to avoid such failures our cloud application development practice is based on the four fundamental principles.

No size fits all

The paradigm of cloud infrastructure leapt from virtual machines to serverless infrastructure in recent years. There are enormous offerings from major service providers like AWS, Azure, GCP. All these offerings have their own use cases and scenarios. The offerings need to be picked carefully to craft the solution. Our experienced technologists understand the business needs and priorities in order to come up with the solution architecture; keeping time to market, cost of implementation, the flexibility of scale and cost of maintenance in mind. While we advocate our clients to be technically ahead than their peers; we also believe that all the buzz words need not be part of the solution to make it technically superior

Lean but Modern

Time to market and flexibility are some of the pressing needs of the business. That’s the reason we keep our tech stack lean and modern. We try to leverage modern cloud offerings as much as possible without impacting the budget of our clients. We develop our applications using the following technologies along with the cloud offerings.

  • Server Side language: NodeJs, Python
  • Database: MySql, Postgres, NoSQL(s)
  • Web Client: Angular, React
  • Mobile App: Ionic, Swift, Java

Reliability by Default

In today’s era of cut-throat competition with the rush to go to the market and acquiring business, we tend to forget keeping business intact is even more important in the long run. That’s why all of our solution architecture has a Reliability Engineering gate to pass. At Sulopa we believe when the customer reports an issue, the customer is already halfway through the exit. Any cloud application is it small or big does not matter; all of them need to have the following as per our design principles:

  • Logging and Monitoring: All our applications designed to log and monitor everything that happens in the production environment.
  • Warning and Alerting: It’s a no brainer to say that prevention is better than cure. Our application design alerts the support staffs when the thresholds are breached.
  • Resilient: At Sulopa We design for Failure. We understand, how good system design it may be, it has chances of failure because of both external or internal reasons. Our reliability engineering check ensures that our application retains the business as usual status with minimal impact.

Automate, Automate, Automate!!

“Three Strikes and you Automate”. If we stumble upon the same problem three times, then we automate the solution. That’s the reason we do Automated Testing, Automated Builds, Automated Deployments in almost all of our projects. Some call it DevOps, some call it CI-CD; we call it basic smartness.
