With evolving technology and many different tools and technologies available, it's often a tedious task to choose the right one to deploy applications. This article shows different ways to deploy an application by looking at their benefits.
Application deployment is the process of deploying and configuring applications in different environments. In most organizations, the build and deployment process is automated with continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD). The challenge is to select the right tools and strategies to meet business needs.
Let’s consider the following attributes of good applications before getting into specific approaches:
Reliable | Performs its functions without failure in a set period |
Highly available | Is a system with zero downtime |
Scalable | Increases or decreases resources running the applications based on load |
Efficient | Performs tasks faster by a computing service over a specific period |
Isolated | Creates a segment where one application does not impact the other |
Computable | Has an ideal size required to run an application |
Monitorable | Helps confirm the availability and performance of the applications, servers, and other infrastructure |
Cost-effective | Is pay as you use/go |
The following are three different ways to deploy an application. There is no single approach that will be a perfect fit because it depends on the use case and business goals.
Automation supports the creation of reliable deployments across the software delivery cycle, which aids the frequent and quick release of new features and applications. It overcomes the problem of burdening the DevOps teams with manual processes that slow down app delivery and automates the next stage in the deployment pipeline.
Automation is the key to success, and there are many different ways to automate the deployment of applications and improve the deployment process. Most businesses have been inclined towards containers and serverless technology offered by cloud platforms, and they should consider the most suitable approach and make sure deployment archives all the attributes of a good application.
