Deep dives

Understanding Cloud Technology

Cloud technology is often seen as magical, but it operates on fundamental concepts that originated from simpler server management. Initially, developers would directly interact with physical servers to run applications, which has evolved into a more complex system designed to cater to multiple users. Understanding how these cloud services operate, like AWS Lambda, is key to leveraging their capabilities effectively. By demystifying these technologies, developers can create applications that utilize cloud features in innovative ways.
