Building a Reliable Cloud Platform: Navigating Stability and Resilience

The best products are always available. To achieve this, stability and resilience play a crucial role in maintaining performance and access. Stability ensures constant availability, while resilience helps handle different workloads and unexpected challenges. By setting up automated elastic infrastructure with self-healing features, your platform stands out, providing uninterrupted performance.

Strategies for high availability

To make your platform highly available, deploy it across multiple cloud locations, use redundancy, and incorporate auto-scaling, self-healing mechanisms, load balancing, dynamic firewalls, and automated backups. These strategies, tailored to meet your specific availability criteria, ensure your platform remains robust in the face of diverse challenges.

Consequences of instability

When your platform is unstable, it can lead to service disruptions, loss of revenue, and strained customer relationships. Failing service level agreements (SLAs) may result in refund requests and damage your business's credibility. Building a platform with security-by-design principles and adopting DevSecOps best practices ensures resilience and security, helping it withstand market demands.

Boosting operational efficiency and managing resources

Instability consumes time and resources as you try to resolve issues, causing project delays. Proactively address potential problems to minimise disruptions. Self-healing infrastructure and robust monitoring streamline issue resolution, allowing development resources to focus on scheduled projects.
