Abstract

Cloud computing has become a revolutionary technology in the contemporary development of web applications, completely changing the manner in which applications are developed, deployed and maintained. The current paper discusses the paradigm change between the inflexible, on-premise infrastructures to highly flexible, virtualized, and service-oriented cloud infrastructures. With the use of the cloud platforms, organizations will enjoy on-demand scalability, cost-effectiveness, and global accessibility, which will solve most drawbacks of the traditional IT systems. The emphasis is made on the faster development cycles made possible by the DevOps practices and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, which make testing, deployment, and delivery more streamlined. The popularity of microservices and serverless architectures also demonstrates the trend to modular, scalable, and fault-tolerant application design, which improves the application resilience and developer productivity. Also, the worldwide network of cloud data centers and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) can guarantee minimal latency and high availability, and hence businesses can deliver smooth user experiences to people in various geographical areas. In addition to infrastructure, cloud providers have rich ecosystems of managed services, such as databases, artificial intelligence and authentication tools that enable developers to spend more time on innovation and core business logic than on backend management. All these developments go to show how cloud computing has been used to bring a new level of agility, efficiency, and innovation in the software industry that has re-defined the future of web application development.
