The Software as a Service (SaaS) model operates by treating each customer as a tenant of the application. To use the SaaS application, each tenant is usually required to pay a subscription. There are three main tenancy models for a SaaS application: In this article we'll focus on specific challenges brought about by the single-tenant model, including developing, deploying, and keeping up-to-date several instances of the SaaS application.

The need for reliable and secure storage solutions is real. With the takeover of cloud storage, we no longer have to stress about losing important files or running out of storage space on our devices. Everyone uses cloud storage in some way or another, but only some give their choice of provider much thinking. We now barely give backing up files a second thought, but we should.

Virtualization has become an essential aspect of modern computing. By creating a virtual version of a computing resource, such as hardware, storage, or an entire operating system, virtualization allows businesses to optimize resource utilization, streamline management, and reduce costs. Two of the most popular virtualization platforms in the market are Microsoft’s Hyper-V and VMware’s vSphere.

In the modern business landscape, the recent surge in cloud computing has become a game-changer, fundamentally altering how organizations manage their IT infrastructure. As businesses increasingly embrace digital transformation, migrating services and applications to the cloud has emerged as a crucial factor in guaranteeing scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.

The direction of travel for business technology is one-way. The momentum towards strategies around decentralised, hybrid technologies is unstoppable. Examples abound, from the composable software stacks of e-commerce to the ongoing death of monolithic ERP. Modern, digitally-driven business is based on a dynamic alignment of resources, data and technology at the granular level, which is then coordinated precisely.

To say modern enterprises are built on the cloud is an understatement. According to Gartner, enterprise spending on cloud applications surged to 57.7% in 2022, and investments into public cloud services hit a respectable 41%. These numbers are only predicted to grow further in 2025 as enterprises accelerate cloud rollouts and move into a cloud microservices architecture to realize greater agility, productivity, and competitiveness.

Azure Blob Storage is a cloud-based storage service provided by Microsoft Azure that allows users to store vast amounts of unstructured data like documents, images, videos, and more. Monitoring Azure Blob Storage is crucial for ensuring optimal performance, data security, and efficient cost management.

The pressure to release application features faster to meet the demands of customers presents a number of challenges, including unforeseen deployment delays, custom feature sets, and complex rollbacks when errors occur. To overcome these challenges, developers can use Flagsmith, an open source feature flagging and remote configuration service that allows developers to easily roll out and test new features for a specific subset of users.

As more and more businesses adopt microservices and leverage cloud infrastructures, keeping track of services and resources becomes increasingly important. Comprehensive monitoring is needed to ensure optimal performance, avoid downtime and ensure all have a great user experience. But leaving monitoring to the cloud provider may not give you the insights you need.

Stateful workloads require consistent access to specific network and disk artifacts. Yet with little tolerance for interruptions, it’s no surprise that these workloads can be costly to run. As a result, organizations face a challenging trade-off between consistency and cost-efficiency as their cloud estates scale and cost concerns grow. However, running stateful workloads doesn’t necessitate overprovisioned, expensive, and unpredictable compute costs.
