On-Premises Storage vs Cloud Storage
Developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations meets developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure. Here's our take.
On-Premises Storage
Developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations
On-Premises Storage
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations
Pros
- +It is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments
- +Related to: storage-area-network, network-attached-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Cloud Storage
Developers should learn cloud storage for building scalable applications, handling large datasets, and ensuring data durability and availability without managing infrastructure
Pros
- +It is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (CDNs)
- +Related to: aws-s3, google-cloud-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use On-Premises Storage if: You want it is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Cloud Storage if: You prioritize it is essential for use cases like web/mobile app backends, big data analytics, disaster recovery, and content delivery networks (cdns) over what On-Premises Storage offers.
