How do you build an application to take full advantage of the #cloud ? Join us on Thursday 2014-11-13 as our Office Hours Hangout hosts +Alan Bush and +Drew Cox discuss the *Cloud Pillars: Five Foundational Building Blocks for Apps in the Cloud.*
Here’s a pillar preview:
1. *Distributed and Parallel Computing:* implementing message queue systems to allocate computational tasks
2. *Modular Design and Service-Oriented Architecture:* splitting monolithic applications into smaller parts and consuming third-party services
3. *Horizontal Scaling with Stateless Applications:* using tokens to authenticate users across a distributed architecture
4. *Becoming Agile During Different Demand Curves:* using monitoring and cloud APIs to dynamically modify your environment as traffic changes
5. *Security in the Cloud:* keeping your application secure against threats in the cloud
Bring your questions for this live, interactive hangout. See you there!
