It not only takes time but also increases server load, slowing down the website.

AngularJS is a JavaScript-based front-end web framework that uses bidirectional UI data binding, and thus we can design Single Page Applications using AngularJS.

Single Page Applications involves loading a single HTML page and updating only a portion of the page rather than the complete page with each mouse click.

During the procedure, the page does not reload or transfer control to another page. It guarantees good performance and faster page loading.

The SPA approach is like a standard in order web applications. UI-related data from the server is delivered to the client at the start.

Only the required information is fetched from the server as the client clicks particular parts of the webpage, and the page is dynamically rewritten. This reduces the burden on the server while also saving money.

Advantages of SPA

  • No page refresh: When using Single Page Application using AngularJS, you only need to load the section of the page that needs to be modified, rather than the entire page. All of your pages may be pre-loaded and cached with Angular, eliminating the need for additional requests to obtain them.
  • Better user experience:Single Page Application using AngularJS has the feel of a native app, it’s quick and responsive.
  • Easier Debugging: Single-page applications are easy to debug with Chrome because they are built with developer tools like AngularJS Batarang and React.
  • Ability to work offline:The UI doesn’t freeze in case of loss of connectivity and can still perform error handling and displaying of appropriate messages to the user.

Step by step guide to build SPA using AngularJS:

  • Module Creation: Creating a module is the first step in any AngularJS Single page application. A module is a container for the many components of your application, such as controllers, service, and so on.

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

  • Defining a Simple Controller:

app.controller('HomeController', function($scope) {

$scope.message = 'Hello from HomeController';

});

  • Including AngularJS script in HTML code: We need to use module and controller in our HTML after we’ve developed them. First and foremost, we must include the angular script and app.js that we created. Then, in the ng-app attribute, we must specify our module, and in the ng-controller attribute, we must specify our controller.
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="HomeController">
<h1>{{message}}</h1>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

The output will look like this when we run the code on localhost.

It’s now established that our module and controller are configured correctly and that AngularJS is operational.

  • Using AngularJS’s routing capabilities to add different views to our SPA:

After the main angular script, we must add the angular-route script.

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular-route.min.js"></script>

To enable routing, we must utilize the ngRoute directive.

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);
  • Creating an HTML layout for the website:After we’ve generated an HTML layout for the website, we’ll use the ng-view directive to designate where the HTML for each page will be placed in the layout.
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular-route.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<div ng-view></div>

<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
  •  To set the navigation to different views, use the $routeProvider service from the ngRoute module:

For each route that we want to add, we must specify a templateUrl and a controller. When a user attempts to travel to a route that does not exist, exception handling must be accommodated. We can use an “otherwise” function to redirect the user to the “/” route for simplicity.

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']);

app.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider

  .when('/', {
    templateUrl : 'pages/home.html',
    controller  : 'HomeController'
  })

  .when('/blog', {
    templateUrl : 'pages/blog.html',
    controller  : 'BlogController'
  })

  .when('/about', {
    templateUrl : 'pages/about.html',
    controller  : 'AboutController'
  })

  .otherwise({redirectTo: '/'});
});
  • Building controllers for every specified route in $routeProvider:

For each route, we’ll need to create controllers. Controller names were set in routeProvider.

app.controller('HomeController', function($scope) {
  $scope.message = 'Hello from HomeController';
});

app.controller('BlogController', function($scope) {
  $scope.message = 'Hello from BlogController';
});

app.controller('AboutController', function($scope) {
  $scope.message = 'Hello from AboutController';
});
  • Configuring the pages:

home.html –

<h1>Home</h1>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>

blog.html –

<h1>Blog</h1>

<h3>{{message}}</h3>

about.html –

<h1>About</h1>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>
  • Adding links to the HTML that will help in navigating to the configured pages:
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular-route.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#/">Home</a>
<a href="#/blog">Blog</a>
<a href="#/about">About</a>

<div ng-view></div>

<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
  1. Including the HTML of routing pages to index.html file using script tag:

Use the script tag with the type text/ng-template to add your partial HTML to index.html. When Angular encounters these templates, it will save their content to the template cache rather than making an Ajax request to retrieve it.

<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.4.7/angular-route.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="pages/home.html">
<h1>Home</h1>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>
</script>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="pages/blog.html">
<h1>Blog</h1>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>
</script>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="pages/about.html">
<h1>About</h1>
<h3>{{message}}</h3>
</script>

<a href="#/">Home</a>
<a href="#/blog">Blog</a>
<a href="#/about">About</a>

<div ng-view></div>

<script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Output:

Once the HTML is run on localhost, the following page is displayed.

Home Output
Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS 6

The hyperlinks First, Second, and Third on the page are routers, and when you click on them, you will be taken to the relevant web pages without having to refresh the page.

Blog Output
Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS 7
ABout Output
Single Page Application (SPA) using AngularJS 8

So this is all about how you can build SPA using AngularJS. If you’re working on a single-page application, AngularJS is the obvious choice.

]]> Best Practises in Node.js https://ca.technology/node-js-best-practices/ Wed, 20 Oct 2021 20:10:07 +0000 https://ca.technology/?p=2796 Node.js was born in 2009, and ever since then, developers have been implementing the best practices in Node.js for web development framework platforms. 

It’s fast, asynchronous, uses a single-threaded model, and has a syntax easy to understand even for beginners.

But that doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park; one can easily get stuck in some error which can quickly become your nightmare. 

To counter this, we have listed some of the essential practices in node.js, which will help you create efficient and sustainable Node.js applications.

With the implementation of these best practices, the app automatically can minimize JavaScript runtime errors and turn into a high-performance, robust node.js application. 

Error Handling Practices 

Using Async-Await or promises for error handling. (for API calls as well) 

It doesn’t take long for callbacks to spiral out of control when they are nested one after the other, which results in callback hell. At this point, your code will be pretty unreadable.

Instead, you can prevent all this by using a reputable promise library or async-await, enabling a much more compact and familiar code syntax like try-catch (should use .then).

Using built-in Error object. 

Having an error bring down the entire production is never a great experience.

Many throw errors as a string or some custom type which complicates the error handling logic and the interoperability between modules.

There are many ways available for developers to raise an error and resolve them.

They can use strings or even define custom types. Still, using a Built-in error object makes a uniform approach to handle errors within our source code and prevent loss of information.

Not only that, but it also provides a standard set of helpful information when an error occurs. (wrap functionality in .then followed by a catch block) 

Handle Errors Centrally 

Without one dedicated object for error handling, more significant are the chances for inconsistent error handling in Node.js projects: Every logic that handles errors like logging performance, sending mails regarding errors should be written in such a way so that all APIs, night-jobs, unit testing can debug messages and call this method whenever any error occurs. Not handling errors within a single place will lead to code duplication and improperly handled errors. 

Practices for Project Structure  

Start all projects with npm init 

Use ‘npm init’ when you start a new project. It will automatically generate a package.json file for your project that allows you to add a bunch of metadata to help others working on the project have the same setup as you.  

Layer your components

Layering is essential, and thus each component is designed to have ‘layers’ – a dedicated object for the web, logic, and data access code.

You can make an orderly division of performance issues and significantly differentiate processes from mock and test codes by layering. It is advisable to create reusable components. Write API calls, logic, services in separate files. 

Use config files

You must have a config.js file that will hold all configurations in a centralized way. This practice ensures that other developers can locate and adjust config values much more quickly and much more easily.

Having one centralized file ensures reusability of config values and can give a quick insight into the Node.js project and what technologies/services/libraries are available to use.

Organize your solution into components (into components, services, modules etc) 

 The worst large applications pitfall is managing a vast code base with hundreds of dependencies – such a monolith slows down developers as they try to incorporate new features. Instead, partition the entire codebase into smaller components so that each module gets its folder and is kept simple and small. 

   

 Code Style Practices 

Use Strict Equality operator (===) (check object equality wisely) 

The strict equality operator (===) checks whether its two operands are equal and return a Boolean value. Unlike the weaker equality operator (==), the strict equality operator always considers operands of different types, whereas == will compare two variables after converting them to a common type. There is no type-conversion in ===, and both variables must be of the same kind to be equal. 

Use Linting Packages 

Use popular linting tools like ESLint, the standard for checking possible code errors, identifying nitty-gritty spacing issues, and detecting serious code anti-patterns like developers throwing errors without classification.

Though ESLint can automatically fix code styles, other tools like prettier and beautify are more potent in formatting the fix and working with ESLint. 

  • Do not use ‘True/ false’ largely for logic building instead use constants. 
  • Have seperate file for Constants 
  • Do not use heavy operation builtin functions 
  • Check for null or undefined values  
  • Use comments for @param, @return values for functions 
  • Practice writing Comment in between 

Name your functions 

Name all functions, including closures and callbacks. Restrict the use of anonymous functions. Naming is especially useful when profiling a node app.

Naming all functions will allow you to quickly understand what you’re looking at when checking a memory snapshot. (use arrow function) 

Use Arrow functions 

More extended codes are more prone to bugs and cumbersome to read, so it is advisable to use Arrow functions which make the code more compact and keep the lexical context of the root function.

However, according to the best practices in Node.js, it is recommended to use async-await applications to stop using functional parameters when working with old APIs that can accept promises or call-backs. 

Other Points to remember

  • Have a separate file for Constants. 
  • Reduce the use of heavy operation built-in functions   
  • Check for null or undefined values before use.  
  • Write a comment to increase readability. Comments are always handy for understanding the code. 

Going To Production Practices 

Monitor 

Failure === disappointed customers. Simple 

At the fundamental level, monitoring means you can quickly identify when bad things happen at production, for example, by getting notified by email or Slack.

It is a game of finding out issues before customers do.

The market is overwhelmed with offers; thus, consider defining the basic metrics you must follow.

Then going over additional fancy features and choose the solution that ticks all boxes. 

Increase transparency using smart logging 

 Logs can be a dumb warehouse of debug statements or the enabler of a beautiful dashboard that tells the story of your app. It’s advisable to plan your logs from day 1.

A proper framework for collecting, storing, and analyzing logs can ensure that we extract the desired information when required. 

Install your packages with npm ci 

When installing packages, you must ensure that the production code uses the exact version of the packages you tested.

Run npm ci to strictly do a clean install of your dependencies matching package.json and package-lock.json. Using this command is recommended in automated environments such as continuous integration pipelines. 

npm ci is also fast—in some cases, twice as fast as using npm i, representing a significant performance improvement for all developers using continuous integration. 

Testing and Overall Quality Practice 

Write API (component) tests 

Most projects do not have any automated testing due to short timetables, or often the ‘testing project’ ran out of control and was discontinued.

It will help plan your project deadline so that all your developed functionality by developers can adhere to automated testing.

For that reason, prioritize and start with API testing, which is the easiest way to write and provides more coverage than unit testing.

We can mock database calls and make sure whether the last changes done by someone else are broken or not after implementing new features.

Have Unit tests and functional tests for maximum coverage

Code coverage tools come with features that tell us whether we have converted codes under test cases or not. Some frameworks also help identify a decrease in testing coverage and highlight testing mismatches. 

You can set a minimum limit of test coverage % before committing code to make sure most of the statements are covered.

Structure tests  

It shouldn’t feel like reading imperative code rather than HTML – a declarative experience when reading a test case. To achieve this, keep the AAA convention so the reader’s minds will parse the test intent effortlessly.

Structure your tests with three well-separated sections: Arrange, Act & Assert (AAA). 

Arrange contains all the data or parameters or expected output used in subsequent calls or comparing actual and expected results, Act calls actual implementation with all arranged parameters, Assert compares the actual result with the desired result.

This structure guarantees that the reader spends no brain CPU on understanding the test plan. 

Tag Your Tests 

There are multiple scenarios where we have to run tests like smoke testing before committing changes to a source control system or when the pull request generates.

We can do this by using tags on tests with different keywords. You can tag tests with keywords like #api #sanity so you can grep with your testing harness and summon the desired subset. 

Security Best Practices 

Embrace linter security rules 

Use security-related linter plug-ins such as ESlint-plugin-security to catch security vulnerabilities and issues as early as possible, preferably while you are writing the code.

Tools like ESLint provides a robust framework for eliminating a wide variety of potentially dangerous patterns in your code by catching security weaknesses like using eval, invoking a child process, or importing a literal module string (e.g., user input). 

Strong Authentication

Having a solid authentication system is necessary for any system security. The lack of authentication or broken authentication makes the system vulnerable on many fronts. These are the few steps you can take to build a robust authentication system: 

  • Remember to avoid basic authentication and use standard authentication methods like OAuth, OpenID, etc. 
  • When creating passwords, do not use the Node.js built-in crypto library; use Bcrypt or Scrypt. 
  • Ensure to limit failed login attempts, and do not tell the user if the username or password is incorrect. 
  • And be sure to implement 2FA authentication. If done correctly, it can increase the security of your application drastically. You can do it with modules like node-2fa or speakeasy. 

Limit direct SQL Injections

SQL injection attacks are among the most infamous attacks today; As the name suggests, a SQL injection attack happens when a hacker gets access and can execute SQL statements on your database.

Attackers often send in queries by a pretense of user inputs which forces the system under attack to involuntarily give up sensitive data/information.

A secure way of preventing injection attacks is by validating inputs coming from the user. You need to validate or escape values provided by the user.

How to do it strictly depends on the database you use and how you prefer it. Some database libraries for Node.js perform escaping automatically (for example, node-MySQL and mongoose). But you can also use more generic libraries like Sequelize or knex.

Run automatic vulnerability scanning 

The Node.js ecosystem consists of many different modules and libraries that you can install. It’s common to use many of them in your projects and creates a security issue; when using code written by someone else, you can’t be 100 percent sure that it’s secure.

To help with that, you should run frequent automated vulnerability scans. They allow you to find dependencies with known vulnerabilities.

Use tools like npm audit or snyk to track, monitor, and patch vulnerable dependencies. Integrate these tools with your CI setup so you catch vulnerabilities before making it to production. 

Implement HTTP response header 

Attackers could perform direct attacks on your application’s users, leading to significant security vulnerabilities. We can avoid these attacks by adding additional security-related HTTP headers to your application. You can use plug-ins like – Helmet, which will add even more headers to secure your application, and it is easy to configure. 

The helmet can implement eleven different header-based security for you with one line of code: 

app.use(helmet()); 

Now, these are some of the best practices that will improve your node.js sense and remind you, these practices are not just limited to amateurs but to the entire Node.js developer community – from specialists to newbies.  

And so, concluding with the generic coding practice, let me remind you to KISS – Keep it Simple and short 🙂

]]> Cloud Computing: Top Trends to Watch https://ca.technology/cloud-computing-top-trends/ Tue, 12 Oct 2021 20:29:19 +0000 https://ca.technology/?p=2804 Cloud computing technology enables considerably more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, computation, and bandwidth. 

The cloud computing industry is also growing at a faster rate.

As cloud technologies advance and more businesses adopt cloud-based services, it’s critical to keep up with the latest developments.

Let’s take a look at some of the most popular cloud computing trends. 

Growing Hybrid/ Multi-Cloud

A hybrid cloud involves mixed-hybrid computing, storage, and service environment that combines on-premises infrastructure, private cloud services, and a public cloud, with orchestration between the platforms.

Multi-cloud is a method in which a company uses two or more cloud computing platforms to accomplish different activities.

Organizations that don’t want to rely on a single cloud provider might pool resources from multiple providers to get the most out of each service. 

A hybrid cloud infrastructure combines two or more clouds, whereas a multi-cloud infrastructure combines multiple clouds of the same kind.

More cloud and data center suppliers are working hard to develop hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud connections among various systems.

More enterprises appreciate the different strengths of private clouds, public clouds, industry-specific clouds, and legacy on-premises installations. 

Containerization

Containers encapsulate an application’s lightweight runtime environment and all of its dependencies, such as libraries, runtime, code, binaries, and configuration files.

Containers offer a standardized approach to bundle all components and operate them across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) on Unix, Linux, and Windows. 

As a result of the trend, containerization will focus on the cloud computing industry in the coming years.

It will quickly gain traction, with large firms investing in their containerization software packages.

By 2023, 70 percent of worldwide enterprises will be running more than two containerized apps in production. 

Cloud Security

A set of policies, controls, procedures, and technologies that work together to safeguard cloud-based systems, data, and infrastructure is known as cloud security.

Security of the data kept on the cloud is the primary concern for many users; thus, cloud security is critical. Some such users believe that the data is safer on their local servers, where they have better control.

Because of the advanced security techniques and security specialists on the staff of the cloud service companies, data stored in the cloud may be safer. 

Security is a big topic in the cloud computing sector, with some users claiming that cloud computing is more secure than their on-premises security architecture.

In contrast, others say it is less secure because security is so critical, businesses that cannot afford or lack the capacity to create in-house security solutions must rely on third parties.

In the coming years, cloud service providers will offer more secure options to their customers. 

Role of Artificial Intelligence

One of the most common cloud computing developments to anticipate is artificial intelligence.

AI and cloud computing are seamlessly integrated into the IT industry to improve corporate operations, functionality, and efficiency.

It now allows businesses to scale, adapt, manage, and automate their processes with ease.

Artificial intelligence can give the cloud an extra layer of security by detecting and resolving issues before they cause harm. 

AI strengthens cloud computing by enabling it to manage data, disclose insights and optimize workflows.

On the other side, Cloud computing enhances the effect and reach of AI.

Given these considerations, AI is unquestionably a cloud computing topic to watch since it enables more efficient organizational procedures. 

Serverless Architecture:  

Serverless architecture is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering that helps businesses design and deploy applications without worrying about the management of physical infrastructure, eliminating the need for architectural engineering.

Cloud service providers handle all scaling, maintenance, and upgrades in exchange for a reasonable charge.

AWS Lambda is one good example.

Because the cloud service provider allots all resources, it is beneficial for software developers who no longer have to manage and maintain network servers.

However, serverless computing is a relatively new cloud service, demand to increase by 25% by 2025. 

Sustainability Efforts: 

Efforts to reduce the harmful effects on climate are increasing throughout industries, along with advancements in technology and the cloud market.

Although the cloud is often more energy-efficient than on-premises infrastructure.

The rise of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT) is forcing cloud technology to work harder than ever. 

Consumers see businesses as a catalog of their best products and services and as a symbol of their beliefs.

Out of nine potential areas of concern, 80 percent of consumers choose sustainability as an essential factor to consider when evaluating businesses.

Migrations to the public cloud can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 59 million tons per year.

As a result, it becomes a significant cloud trend. 

The trends above are the most important ones to follow in the cloud computing industry in the following years.

According to current trends, the cloud will continue to grow in terms of popularity and technological advancement.

Cloud-based services will become more efficient, accessible, and adaptive in the following years.

]]> Cloud Migration: Challenges and Benefits https://ca.technology/cloud-migration-challenges/ Sun, 19 Sep 2021 21:21:37 +0000 https://ca.technology/?p=2811 Understanding cloud migration, how it may benefit your business, and what it takes to make it happen can help you choose the best strategy for a smooth cloud transfer. 

As a result of the worldwide pandemic, more and more organizations are moving to the cloud, redefining their offers, and becoming more cost-effective, elegant, and imaginative in their operations. 

Cloud, as a self-service, on-demand environment, is now critical to enabling end-to-end digital transformation. Cloud computing is more important than ever before in assisting organizations in reopening, reinventing, and navigating unpredictability. 

What is cloud migration, and how does it work? 

The process of shifting a company’s digital assets, services, databases, IT resources, and applications into the cloud, either partially or entirely, is known as cloud migration. Moving from one cloud to another is also referred to as cloud migration. 

Companies who want to get away from old and increasingly inefficient legacy infrastructures, such as aging servers or potentially faulty firewall appliances, or abandon hardware or software solutions that no longer perform at peak capacity are now turning to the cloud. That is why so many businesses are migrating to the cloud, at the very least in part. 

What are the benefits of cloud migration? 

The cloud can have a significant impact on businesses that go through the process of cloud migration. 

The benefits include the lower total cost of ownership (TCO), shorter time to market, and increased innovation opportunities. Access to the cloud brings agility and flexibility, critical in meeting changing customer and market expectations. 

In recent months, companies have been transferring their services and data to the cloud as they adjust to becoming more flexible digital workplaces in response to increased online demand and remote working. 

Benefits of cloud migration include: 

  • Increased agility and flexibility 
  • Ability to innovate faster 
  • Easing of increasing resource demands 
  • Better managing of increased customer expectations 
  • Reduction in costs 
  • Deliver immediate business results 
  • Simplify IT  
  • Shift to everything as-a-service 
  • Better consumption management 
  • Cloud scalability 
  • Improved performance 

Overcoming the most common cloud migration challenges 

Financial Cost

Financial concerns impact almost every aspect of migration. The immediate expense of the migration and the long-term financial risks of poor or slow adoption and training following the migration is challenging 

The following are the highest migration costs: 

  • Cloud-based application architecture rewrite 
  • Investing in the people and technologies required for a successful migration 
  • Users are being educated on the new systems. 
  • Latency, interoperability, reliance on non-cloud apps, and downtime are all performance challenges. 
  • Bandwidth is expensive. 
  • Despite this daunting list, a successful (and cost-effective) cloud migration is feasible. 

Solution

These three ways can help businesses keep cloud computing costs low. 

a) Plan ahead of time. 

Preparation is your most potent ally. Invest in a robust change management strategy. A well-thought-out plan will aid you in managing the project’s scope as well as the level of company disturbance. 

b) Adopting in batches is a good idea. 

Another option for managing your financial investment is to transfer to the cloud gradually. Batch adoption provides the advantage of breaking down a financially daunting endeavor into smaller, more manageable chunks over time. 

c) Make the switch to a hybrid cloud. 

Complete cloud migration may not be the best option depending on your computing demands. 

Adoption Resistance: 

When it comes to migration success, individuals are frequently the most challenging factor to overcome. People have a natural aversion to change. Cloud migration also entails a lot of change and upheaval, with new systems, processes, and sometimes even leadership. 

Solution: Fortunately, a change management strategy based on a few core strategies can ensure widespread buy-in and an easier transition. 

a) Get leadership buy-in 

You have to start at the top if you want to generate successful adoption at the bottom. Because one of the most critical variables driving employee engagement and adoption is senior leadership, you’ll need strong management buy-in from the start. 

b) Choose intuitive tech solutions 

Prioritize usability and integration when selecting cloud options for your apps. The more intuitive and user-friendly the product, the more likely it is to be adopted by your employees (and stick with it). 

c) Spend money on professional training and resources. 

Although the cloud should make life easier for everyone, the transition might be difficult (slow down adoption). The new processes may be unclear, complex, or difficult to integrate for some people. They are more prone to use familiar tools if they do not receive sufficient training and assistance. 

Skill Shortage 

Despite the many advantages of cloud computing, the difficulty of migration deters many businesses. One of the most significant challenges is locating personnel with the necessary expertise to manage a successful move. 

As more businesses turn their attention to the cloud, the demand for migration professionals has grown. Regrettably, demand for cloud experts outnumbers supply (at least for now). 

The solution is to look for cloud professionals. 

The most challenging hurdle to cloud adoption today may be a scarcity of professionals with the necessary skill set. You’ll need to discover other options if you don’t have the resources (or luck) to hire cloud migration experts.
