Read "Cloud Hosting" in one article

Cloud hosting supports most language/framework projects, and developers can smoothly migrate from the server; and the automatic operation and maintenance and expansion and shrinkage features of cloud hosting do not require developers to care about the availability of services, focus on business, and greatly save labor and service resource costs . At the same time, cloud hosting also integrates continuous delivery deployment, DevOps automation, security authentication and many other capabilities, and is committed to helping business developers and R&D teams without in-depth operation and maintenance experience to create high stability and strong security at the lowest cost. backend service.

Q: What kind of business is suitable for cloud hosting?

●Background service of traditional technology stack

It is often difficult to bear the high cost of transformation when using the background services of the traditional technology stack to migrate to the cloud. Using WeChat cloud hosting can quickly migrate the stock business, while supporting east-west communication microservices and service resident.

●Traffic instability trigger type, lack of operation and maintenance costs

Using WeChat cloud hosting can automatically expand and shrink according to real-time traffic, and charge according to actual consumption, which greatly reduces R&D and operation and maintenance costs.

●High security requirements.
For services with high security requirements, the use of cloud hosting can go through the WeChat private link, and at the same time, it can support the authentication-free call to the WeChat open interface, which is safe and efficient.

Q: Is cloud hosting suitable for personal business?

●Cross-platform deployment and migration

Compatible with Knative + Kubernetes ecological standards, it has a good community foundation and a complete community ecology. It can be seamlessly migrated between various cloud vendors, without worrying about technology lock-in, and entering the "cloud native" era.

●Flow-driven mode

The number of instances can be automatically scaled according to traffic, and it can be reduced to 0 or service resident. There is no need to keep an eye on the running status and no need to prepare for manual scaling.

●Accounting

To elastically scale resources, you only need to pay for the actual amount of resources used, and the minimum granularity can be 0.25C and 0.5GiB. Effectively avoid idle resources, and do not need to prepare excessive resources in advance for business peaks.

Q: What is the relationship between cloud hosting and applet cloud development?

Cloud hosting and applet cloud development are both components of the WeChat cloud service ecosystem created by WeChat and Tencent Cloud. Both provide the ability to avoid server-free operation and maintenance, but they are applicable to different scenarios and users.

Cloud hosting is mainly oriented to the front-end and back-end separation architecture scenarios, not limited to languages or frameworks, which is more friendly to team collaboration and enterprise-level application scenarios; cloud development is mainly oriented to front-end and back-end integrated architecture scenarios, suitable for individual/enterprise developers full stack development.
