"How Cloud Computing is transforming from raw infra to app-centric services"
Longer blog post 👉diagrid.io
TLDR of timelines, app, infra, API changes 👇🧵(0..4)
1⃣ The pre-cloud/early cloud Era:
This is the time of monolithic apps and static raw on-prem infrastructure.
➡️In this era, the monolith contains and does everything it needs to. Devs responsible for most.
➡️The OS primitives are the interface with infra (static IPs and VMs)
2⃣The infrastructure/compute centric cloud era
This is the time of transition to microservices & raw cloud infra
➡️ Dynamic compute, networking, and storage cloud services (not app centric)
➡️ Containers emerging as de facto app packaging & compute format, & HTTP for networking
3⃣ The application-centric cloud era
Raw infra moves into the background and app-first services emerge
➡️Container and function based compute
➡️Orchestration: Step Functions, GCP Workflows
➡️Eventing: EventBridge, EventGrid, EventArc
➡️DevX, logs, monitoring: all are app-first
4⃣ Cloud-bound applications
The new cloud svc are created for Devs rather than Ops. They offer app-first compute & integration capabilities that blend with the app at much deeper levels
This changes how we look at apps from a single unit, into one that is blended with cloud. FIN
Follow up post on cloud-bound applications is coming soon @InfoQ and a session @qconlondon 🙏
