In the upcoming months, big cloud providers are headed towards better profits from cloud technology as compared to on-premise software. Development teams in large IT vendors are all set to drive innovation into the cloud versions by embracing unceasing delivery development methods.
As per Forrester, back end systems will make use of an abstraction architecture named Representational state transfer OR ‘REST’ as a part of communication platforms. This architectural style will aid the design process of various networked applications. Moreover, it is being increasingly used as a driver for agile development which is way ahead of other protocols such as Simple Object Access Protocol or ‘SOAP’.
Report published by the research firm states that companies looking forward to make their back-office applications a part of this move forward, must rely on traditional integration methods. This includes much more beyond enterprise service buses, JDBC connections and SOAP. In order to make modern applications, one would have to advance the integration architecture in the lines of REST.
Furthermore, trends such as the prevalence of open source platforms will help to launch as well as run applications anytime, anywhere. As a result, cloud will become a safe bet. Similarly, Forrester will predict the death spiral of private as well as managed cloud.
Besides, 2014 has already witnessed the entry of cloud hosting into the formal IT portfolio. As a result, technology managers have stopped treating cloud as competition. Moreover, cloud technology will also mature into a driving force which would empower some of the most successful companies.
