At Coforge, cloud application development follows the best practices, commonly known as the twelve factors, to make scalable and resilient apps that can be continuously deployed with maximum agility. Microsoft Azure (Azure) offers a wide range of services that can be used to develop and deploy cloud native applications. Our approach to building cloud-native applications or redesigning existing applications that will run in Azure involves designing, developing, and deploying applications that seamlessly integrate managed services from Azure.
We leverage cloud-native services and technologies for applications developed to run in Azure:
Lowered Costs - streamlined software delivery process and shared resources to significantly lower operational costs leveraging DevOps, managed services, serverless and containers such as Azure Functions, AKS, Azure Web App, Cognitive Services etc.
Reliable Releases - rapidly build, test, and deploy new and existing services leveraging services like Azure DevOps.
Higher Availability - autoscaling and self-healing for high availability and reliability.
Scalability - employ infrastructure automation, helping to eliminate downtime due to human error leveraging integrated monitoring.
Portability - designed to run almost anywhere, without making changes to entire application leveraging support for open source and containerization.
Better Security - reduce attack surface area and make it easier to detect and respond to attacks or new vulnerabilities.
Improved Compliance – most of the data security controls are implanted at platform level with Azure maintaining compliance with risk management framework.
