Rapid Development of Service-based Cloud Applications: The Case of the Cloud Application Platforms

摘要: Cloud application platforms gain popularity and have the potential to alter way service-based cloud applications are developed involving utilisation of platform basic services. A service provides certain functionality is usually offered via a web API. However, diversification services available providers increase challenge for developers integrate them deal with heterogeneous providers' APIs. Therefore, new approach developing should be adopted in which leverage multiple independently from target platforms. To this end, authors present development framework assisting design applications. The objective enable consistent integration services, allow seamless use concrete providers. optimal provider each time can vary depending on criteria such as pricing, quality determined based upon Big Data analysis approaches.
