Five ways cloud computing affects mobile development teams

Needless to argue, the development cycle in the mobile application development world is very short-lived. So it's not surprising that the development team will be based on a variety of cloud technologies to the extent that they are able to quickly put their mobile apps on the market. Here are 5 of the most efficient ways to make your mobile project successful by using the cloud.

1. Managed Services

Amazon and their infrastructure as service (IaaS) products through the EC2 platform are, to a large extent, pioneers of cloud concepts, so it should be expected that many organizations will host applications to EC2 services. But, of course, Amazon is just one of those characters in this growth area, and in many cases, because of the presence of software as a service role (SaaS), IaaS roles such as EC2 are pushed aside, and in SaaS users give up some control over their systems and the runtime. The system promises less configuration and lower administrative overhead. This is probably the most reliable way to use the cloud, so more and more mobile applications are starting to take advantage of cloud-based hosting services.

2. Payment Gateway

Part of the reason why Apple and its itunes store has been so successful is that their simple and easy-to-use payment system has made it a regular job for the iphone and other suppliers of iOS based applications, and has also become a success. When we talk about success, we really talk about getting richer.

But as the mobile market matures, many mobile developers have begun to criticize Apple's economic model, and many people want an alternative payment mechanism. It is not surprising that some cloud-based payment gateway vendors have emerged, which makes it easy for developers to implement financial transactions with their customers without fear of losing sales due to reliability problems or software vulnerabilities, and the likelihood of such problems increasing if local financial transaction processing systems are in place.

3.WEB Analysis

Mobile app developers have adopted the idea of "know your users" to reach a completely new level. Perhaps it is true that mobile applications typically have fewer screens and focus more on features. This highly concentrated nature of mobile applications enables developers to quickly transform the Web analytics and usage information they collect into product improvements and application upgrades. To always make your product better, more mobile applications rely on cloud-based services to capture, store, and render information about user interaction.

4. Application Monitoring

You may be completely content with all your internal tools, your out-of-the-box analysis engine and your internal data center, but if everything is running inside, how do you know your system is broken?

5. Development

There are so many benefits to using the cloud at run time, but most organizations still have questions about the full deployment of cloud services, so they slow down into the application cloud and use only a few key core features. Even if the mobile development team manages the code, uses arbitrary test data, manages the code and uses arbitrary test data, that is, leaking it into the service vendor Branch World, it will not be awkward for the mobile development team, the first in the organization to start using the cloud reasonably. The pioneer of cloud benefit development is the cloud based tracking system, the source code management system, the Load test tool, and even the comprehensive integrated development environment, which separates the desktop from the code equation written by the developer.

Moving and cloud: a natural pair

Some things about the mobile development community are that it uses the cloud to do the whole thing. Perhaps it is true that short life-cycle mobile development projects require off-the-shelf services from the cloud provider. Perhaps this type of personality that controls the mobile development community is more risky and destructive than their business development peers, so they are more likely to try new things like cloud-based ides or monitoring tools. But whatever the reason, it seems that the mobile community is embracing the cloud completely, making the mobile and cloud communities more powerful. (Translator: Chunghong)
