Abstract

Technology revolution brought by cloud computing, is affecting the work of web developers that could benefit of installed frameworks and platforms where to deploy applications without management needs. Cloud computing in its different usage models according the kind of offered utilities (e. g. , storage or computing facility as software, web framework as a platform and virtual machine as infrastructure), is becoming a successful distributed computing paradigm thanks to the services made available by several commercial organizations in many cases with a free starting plan. This paper wants to analyze the cloud offerings from the web developer's perspective that often need to configure and manage the environment where to design, develop and deploy their applications. The aim is to understand whether such services are effective for the development and deployment of general-purpose web applications (i. e. , from website to mobile web apps) or introduce further complexity requiring additional skills to developers.
