- Helps reduce operational complexity and cost.
Considerations
- Reliance on external hosting and associated terms or limits.
- Potential compliance or data residency considerations for certain industries.
- May introduce latency depending on the cloud provider's infrastructure.
Use This Approach When
- Limited DevOps resources are available, or focus on application logic over infrastructure is preferred.
- A fully managed environment with minimal setup time is desired.
- A single, managed solution is prioritized over running own clusters.
- Minimizing operational complexity and cost is the goal.
Example Use Case
A startup or team with limited DevOps support that needs a reliable, managed environment. Quick deployment and minimal in-house infrastructure responsibilities are priorities.
