What changes in the architecture and processes of the project have you noticed after transitioning to cloud technologies?

Transitioning to cloud technologies often leads to the following changes in project architecture and processes:

• Microservices architecture: Instead of a monolith, the project is broken down into independent services, simplifying scaling and updates.
• Automation and CI/CD: Continuous integration and delivery pipelines are implemented for rapid deployment in the cloud.
• Use of managed services: Instead of managing databases, queues, and caches manually, cloud services are used, reducing operational costs.
• Flexible scaling: The architecture is designed to allow dynamic resource scaling based on load.
• Changes in development processes: Emphasis on DevOps practices, real-time monitoring and logging, and ensuring fault tolerance.

For example, in a Java project, containerization with Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes may be introduced to manage microservices in the cloud.
