The business potential of artificial intelligence has been on the horizon for decades. But many businesses have found AI hard to implement, or to even start imagining. Thanks to some relatively recent breakthroughs, that potential is being realized now.
Modernizing applications yields a range of benefits for organizations looking for infrastructure that is built to last. Containerization allows you to be more flexible in the delivery and deployment of applications and optimizes costs. Adding a proper Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline into the mix allows for better management and automated workflows for a containerized application.

It’s no secret that DevOps teams must be able to quickly and efficiently debug issues in their operational environments, and a key metric in the maturity and quality of the DevOps team is the time it takes them to identify and resolve production issues. Application Performance Monitoring (APM) is a key component to this capability, and AWS X-Ray gives DevOps teams all of the features of a leading APM solution in an easy to implement managed service.
DevOps teams share one common goal: to increase the frequency and quality of application deployments. AWS CodeStar is described as the AWS service to "quickly develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS.” DevOps teams can use AWS CodeStar to quickly set up their entire continuous delivery toolchain in minutes for more reliable deployments in consistent environments, as well as less risk of error.
Small businesses remain acutely exposed to data loss and downtime: 60% close within six months of a significant data-loss event, and downtime costs typically run $8,000–$100,000 per hour depending on company size.
As recently as just a few years ago, business leaders worried about the unknown factors of moving their core applications to the cloud. Factors like not knowing how a particular application might work in the cloud were deterrents to what would have been optimal cloud migration, according to Tech Target. With new attention to performance metrics and understanding how their applications will scale with cloud services, organizations are finding cloud computing companies more attractive all the time.
Cloud migration is no longer new ground; it's standard infrastructure strategy, with most organizations already running workloads in the cloud or actively planning a move. Cost remains a major driver: Flexera's 2026 State of the Cloud Report found cost efficiency is still the most widely cited success metric among cloud teams (81% of organizations), even as more companies now weigh cloud decisions by the business value they deliver rather than cost savings alone.
