Benefits of modern application development

Modern applications are built with a combination of modular architecture patterns, serverless operational models and agile developer processes, and they allow organizations to innovate faster while reducing risk, time to market, and total cost of ownership.

Faster to market

By speeding up the build and release cycle and offloading operational overhead, developers can quickly build new features. Automated test and release processes reduce error rates, so products are market-ready faster.

Increased innovation

With a modular architecture, changes to any individual application component can be made quickly, and with a lower risk to the whole application, so teams can experiment with new ideas more often.

Improved reliability

By automating test procedures, and monitoring at every stage of the development lifecycle, modern applications are reliable at deployment. Any issues can be evaluated and addressed in real time.

Reduced costs

With a pay-for-value pricing model, modern applications reduce the cost of over-provisioning or paying for idle resources. By offloading infrastructure management, maintenance costs are also lower.
