Practical Cloud Computing Architectures and Use Cases 🏗️💼

Intermediate

Designing effective cloud architectures involves understanding patterns like:

  • Three-Tier Architecture: Separates presentation, logic, and data layers using cloud services.
  • Serverless Architecture: Runs code in response to events without managing servers; ideal for microservices.
  • Microservices: Divides applications into loosely coupled services, each deployable independently.

Use Cases:

  • E-commerce: Scalable web hosting with CDN integration.
  • Data Analytics: Processing large datasets using cloud data warehouses.
  • DevOps: CI/CD pipelines leveraging cloud build and deployment tools.

✨ Example Architecture:

[User Browser] ---> [CDN] ---> [Web Servers (Auto-Scaling)] ---> [Backend Services] ---> [Database]

This design ensures high availability, scalability, and resilience.
