Serverless computing represents one more step on the path away from cumbersome monolithic applications to more agile software approaches that speed development and deployment time. Such “cloud-native” applications are designed to leverage the flexible infrastructure of the cloud by abstracting application logic from the underlying server hardwa...

Migrating applications and data from the premises to the cloud is much harder than it seems. Three-quarters of businesses surveyed by Frost & Sullivan say migration represents a top hindrance to cloud implementation. The challenges are both technical and non-technical, and include the physical challenge of moving vast amounts of data to the cloud, ...
