Six Cloud Data Challenges Solved E-book

If you’re like most developers, you spend about two-thirds of your time building and the rest of your time learning. Sometimes your research is proactive, based on personal interest or a desire to maintain your skills, but more likely it’s out of necessity—learning what you need to tackle your next big project. Not long ago, new projects assumed an on-premises or hosted approach, forcing you to spend considerable time on essential requirements like scalability, availability, and security.

Today, you still must deliver on those essentials, but the apps you’re building need to do a lot more: support millions of users, span the globe, make sense of petabytes of data, and delight users in new ways. Cloud services not only deliver “built-in” scalability and availability, but also provide an unprecedented range of prebuilt functionality for driving innovation into your apps—ready to evaluate for your next project, without your having to worry about physical infrastructure.
