With the rapid growth in IT infrastructure and services, enterprises are steadily upgrading to cloud computing technology to save costs and increase the reliability of their applications. Amazon’s AWS, Microsoft's Azure, and Google’s GCP are top cloud service providers with significant market share. Enterprises consider several factors when choosing the right cloud provider.

In the current digital era, cloud computing has become an essential tool for companies looking to innovate and simplify their processes. However, shifting to the cloud also brings a new set of security problems. Some businesses have continued to use poor safety and security protocols in spite of how important it is to secure cloud environments; this has left them open to a variety of cyberattacks.

When your startup starts growing, the application running on a single node(monolithic app) starts facing degraded performance. The reason is a limit that every technology stack has to serve a certain number of concurrent requests/ tasks per second. This limit could be due to the amount of resources available to the application.

Software Development Lifecycle has quickly evolved during the last decade putting more emphasis on continuous integration(CI), built-in testing, constant monitoring, and analytics feedback. They all point toward an overall trend in the software industry: increasing the ability to react. As companies are trying to adapt to these changes, they invariably discover continuous delivery, commonly known as a CD.
