Blogs That Rocked

 

1. How To Start Building Your Own Cloud-Based SAAS Products

Year-In-Review

The first one was about cloud-based SAAS products. In this, we talked about how to build one yourself and why?

Cloud-based applications are the best as they are cost-effective and doesn’t require an infrastructure to establish. The next thing to decide while developing an application is to select the software with the help of which you can build an application. The most common choice are PHP, Python, Java, and Android.

The final thing is to decide which Database Management System (DBMS) you should choose. There are many types of DBMS, but the best one for you will be document-oriented DBMS. The reason behind it is that it is more manageable and reduces the need for object-relational mapping.
