Modern Applications
We founded Serverless Solutions to help companies take advantage of everything the cloud has to offer. Often this conversation lands on “Modern Applications”. Modern apps are simply applications built for the cloud or existing apps refactored to leverage what the cloud offers.
As a business stakeholder, IT leader, or developer why do modern applications matter? Cost is certainly a consideration and modern apps can drive TCO down, but there’s more to it than just the cost side of the equation.
Abstraction
Abstract away the complexity of maintaining your infrastructure. Minimize your investment and simplify deployments, allowing the team to focus on adding value.
Risk
Properly deploying solutions to the cloud means you shouldn’t have to worry about redundancy, high availability, or disaster recovery. Further, leveraging security best practices is a great starting point to avoid breaches.
Elasticity
Cloud infrastructure allows you to start small and scale up dynamically as the needs arise. Then scale back down when usage decreases. Use and pay only for the resources you need and consume.
Agility
Focusing solely on the applications and functions naturally allows you to be more flexible and agile. We can more quickly deliver business value and course correct when needed. Serverless is all about allowing your team to focus on applications rather than ‘plumbing’.
So how do you get there? It really depends on your starting point. We typically help clients assess their current landscape and map that to their business strategy, developing a plan to quickly close ground where you’ll see the most value. We can help you define your strategy and then migrate, replatform, and develop your applications.
