The way applications are designed has changed dramatically in the last 3 years with the flexible availability of Cloud infrastructure. The wide range of tools available in public and private clouds plus native applications that leverage this ecosystem of resources to build flexible solutions are causing a swift and secure response to business pressures and needs.
Cloud models blur the line between software and infrastructure, giving real flexibility to applications and services
The cloud concept has transcended the initial concept of infrastructure and platform as services (IaaS, SaaS and PaaS respectively) to become a concept in which companies can manage with immediacy and flexibility due to its liquefaction through programming.
This trigger has allowed us to design a new generation of applications that are created with strong technical requirements (elastic scalability, incorporation of new technologies, real-time response, observability) and business requirements (fast delivery times, ease of pivoting).
Native cloud applications use these capabilities and enable us to design solutions quickly and sustainably with microservice-oriented architectures and by using the specialisation of each PaaS tool.
At Babel, we design the applications with two different strategies according to the needs of the organisation:
- Cloud-dependent solutions. These solutions take advantage of the manufacturer’s specific tools, which initially give us a lot of speed but also generate a strong dependence on these parts, which are often non-standard.
- Cloud-independent solutions. These solutions are mainly based on open-source software, which gives us flexibility and independence and the possibility to create multi-cloud and hybrid solutions.
The flexibility provided by the cloud requires specialisation
The development of native cloud applications means that they can be built as an ecosystem of functional components (microservices) that interact in order to solve tasks. This design model means that each component has an independent lifecycle, meets demand, and facilitates maintenance. However, the price of this flexibility involves greater efforts in controlling and governing architecture.
A governance model that enables us to uphold the principles of agility and controlled speed, maintain accurate cost accounting in terms of the application and area, and keep the integration and deployment chain lubricated (which implies a thorough knowledge of clouds) is also required.
Modern solutions existing alongside core systems
We specialise in the design of new native cloud solutions that are capable of coexisting with the legacy that provides companies with the stability and consistency of the business.
The reality faced by businesses requires the development of mixed solutions.
