As I said before, Speed is King. Business requirements for applications and architecture change all the time, driven by changes in customer needs, competition, and innovation and this only seems to be accelerating. Application developers must not be the blocker to business. We need business changes at the speed of life, not at the speed of software development.
With the help of its continually growing global network of data centres, Microsoft has developed Azure, a cloud platform for developing, deploying, and managing services and applications from any location. Azure is available now.

With web browser-accessed applications reaching record levels, employees are now spending most of their productive work time inside a cavern of business web applications.

Lumigo was founded by Aviad Mor and me a few years ago because we believed the world would be rapidly moving to cloud-native architectures and that these technologies are transformative. Our goal was to create the tools that help developers realize this vision.
AWS CloudFormation is a service that enables you to create and provision AWS infrastructure deployments predictably and repeatedly.

Organizations need tools to manage their infrastructure, which today is expanding beyond the data center to include multiple public clouds. In fact, in a recent survey of hybrid cloud decision makers, we found that the vast majority of respondents (88%) have placed more than one-quarter of their workloads in the public cloud, and 44% indicated that they’re running more than half of their workloads in the public cloud.
