Cloud development is a process of developing applications and software platforms with some extent of cloud deployment, either fully or partially. Major cloud service providers—AWS, GCP, and Azure—offer cloud service models with varying extents of user responsibility: PaaS, SaaS, IaaS, and BPaaS. Cloud software may be accessed from anywhere on the web via a browser, is scalable, and has minimal upfront investment.

Cloud computing services include cloud consulting, cloud architecture design, API management, cloud migration, cloud cost optimization, cloud application development, and cloud monitoring services.

Cloud computing has been widely adopted due to its multiple advantages: near-endless scalability, cost efficiency short term and long term, quick time-to-market, security, and robust DR and loss prevention opportunities. Many businesses avoid potential disadvantages of vendor lock in through hybrid deployment or multi-cloud setup.

You can either hire a cloud engineer for your in-house team via talent recruitment engines like Indeed or Glassdoor or try your luck with LinkedIn recruitment (we recommend both organic and paid promotion of the vacancy). Outsourcing your cloud computing scope to a software development vendor is another alternative where you can hire AWS certified engineers or GCP experts per project or by the hour.
