cloud

In today’s world of cloud application development, there has been a push toward distributed computing. Long gone are the days when native applications had all of their business logic locally, or when server systems all lived in the same bare-metal machine. To understand how to build resilient cloud applications, we need to understand the theory behind distributed systems. In this blog post, we are going to dive into the 101 of system design: the CAP Theorem.

Terraform is an open source CLI tool created by Hashicorp to simplify the task of creating and managing the underlying infrastructure of applications. The idea behind it is to write the desired state of our infrastructure with code in plain-text files. The tool reads these files and updates the real infrastructure on our cloud providers to match what is stated in the files. This way of working makes managing the infrastructure of our projects very efficient.
