Introduction to Cloud Providers
Get an overview of major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and their core services relevant to SaaS deployment.
Welcome to the Cloud!
Ever wondered where your favorite apps live online? They often run on cloud providers! These are companies that offer computing services like servers, storage, databases, networking, and more, all over the internet.
Instead of owning physical hardware, you rent these services from a cloud provider. Think of it like renting an apartment versus buying a house.
Why Cloud for SaaS?
For a SaaS (Software as a Service) application, cloud providers are essential. They allow you to build and run your app without managing complex infrastructure yourself.
- Focus on your product: Spend less time on hardware, more on features.
- Global reach: Easily serve users worldwide.
- Cost-effective: Pay only for what you use.
