Changes in the world of applications: modernising and innovating towards the future
The future belongs to companies prepared to innovate. Modernising applications, adopting microservices, and implementing hybrid solutions are the pillars that allow for modernisation, scaling, and rapid delivery with higher quality and fewer risks. This is stated by Gonçalo Heleno, Director of the Infrastructure & Security department at Asseco PST, in an opinion article recently published in Mozambique’s Diário Económico.
In his article, the Asseco PST executive begins by recalling that not long ago, application development was dominated by the so-called monolithic paradigm. In other words, large blocks of code would concentrate the functionalities of a system, creating robust solutions but making them difficult to scale and adjust to different requirements.
In recent years, he states, much has changed. Making applications "cloud ready" to enable the transition to "hybrid cloud" has become a natural evolution in leading digital transformation. Many have invested in modernising existing applications and building innovative solutions, taking advantage of the benefits of hybrid cloud, which combines the advantages of public and private clouds with scalability and faster development cycles.
Other companies, determined to break barriers, have invested in a "cloud-native" model, developing applications with microservices to create systems that are even faster, more resilient, and independent, capable of evolving at the pace of their respective business.
In any case, Gonçalo Heleno emphasises that managing modern applications requires a platform that offers flexibility and control. This is where Red Hat OpenShift comes in, serving as a guarantee of scalability and operational efficiency.
Throughout his article, also available in print in the Mozambican magazine Economia & Mercado, Gonçalo Heleno highlights two more IBM solutions: Instana and Storage Fusion. The first provides complete, real-time monitoring of applications, services, and infrastructures, offering detailed insights into system performance and detecting issues before they impact users. The second delivers persistent storage, ensuring data integrity and accessibility, even in failure scenarios.
These are some of the pillars that help support a secure digital transformation. They are essential steps for those looking to accelerate towards the future, scaling, modernising, and innovating.
