About The Cloud

There are a number of excellent competitors in the cloud computing / PaaS market. Three of the main options include Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services.

Though we are indeed a Microsoft & AWS Partners we are cloud agnostic. At Keyhole Software, we have used all three successfully in many projects.

What is the right fit for you might not be the right fit for other organizations. We can help your team to determine the correct cloud provider for your unique use cases.

In the beginning, there were physical machines. They were expensive and developers loaded them up with multiple applications to save costs. This caused no end of conflicts and unexpected bugs, yet effective machine utilization was still low.

Next up: virtual machines. Since multiple VMs could be run on a single physical box, developers installed their applications in contained VMs, which reduced conflicts and improved utilization. The downside of this was dealing with shared memory and unpredictable performance.

Enter the cloud. Companies could rent the virtual machines they needed, when they needed them. They could scale applications up and down on demand.

Today, more organizations are evaluating PaaS (Platform as a Service) and serverless approaches to application development, moving beyond cloud-hosted VMs, removing the need to manage servers and scalability challenges, and increasing the speed of the iterative development process.

“Serverless” computing is rising in popularity. Of course, servers are still used to execute code, but an additional layer of abstraction is added to remove the developer from any sort of server configuration. The service handles all the capacity, scaling, patching, and administration of the infrastructure to run your code. You are only charged for the compute time you use, and scaling is automatically handled to meet load demands.
