Cloud Computing

In this final installment of our cloud computing history series, we explore the future of cloud technology through the insights of Zhang Xia and Ren Xianghui, focusing on artificial intelligence integration and emerging trends that are reshaping the industry. The AI Revolution in Cloud Computing “This stage is very early, and no company in the industry has yet taken the lead in this area,” observes Zhang Xia. However, the integration of artificial intelligence with cloud computing is rapidly accelerating....

Building upon our exploration of cloud computing’s early days, we delve deeper into the evolution of the cloud ecosystem through the perspectives of Zhang Xia and Ren Xianghui. Their insights reveal how cloud computing has transformed from a technical innovation into a comprehensive business ecosystem. The Global Cloud Ecosystem The vibrancy of the global cloud ecosystem is perhaps best exemplified by Amazon’s annual cloud technology conference in Las Vegas. As Zhang Xia describes, “The conference gathered a complete ecosystem of partners....

Through insights from Zhang Xia, Chief Cloud Computing Enterprise Strategy Advisor at Amazon Web Services, and Ren Xianghui, founder of MingDao Cloud, we explore the transformative journey of cloud computing from its inception to its current state as a fundamental technology driving digital innovation. The Birth of Cloud Computing “Amazon can be seen as one of the earliest suppliers of public cloud services globally,” explains Zhang Xia. The journey began around 2002 when Amazon’s e-commerce operations led to extensive experience with large-scale network applications....

In Part 1 of our series, we explored the historical evolution of database technology. Now, let’s dive into how cloud computing has revolutionized database management and examine the emergence of specialized database solutions. The Cloud Computing Impact Cloud computing has fundamentally transformed how we approach database management. This transformation is evident in several key areas: 1. Simplified Management Automated deployment and configuration Managed backup and recovery Seamless scaling capabilities Reduced operational overhead 2....

In this final installment of our backend architecture evolution series, we explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies through the expert insights of Zhang Lei and Zhang Huan. Their perspectives illuminate the future direction of backend development. The AI Revolution in Backend Development Zhang Lei observes: “This stage is very early, and no company in the industry has yet taken the lead in this area. However, in two to three years, we may see operators launch many new products where you only need to simply describe your needs, and the system can generate a corresponding resource supply program for you....

The journey of database technology is a fascinating story of continuous evolution, driven by changing business needs and technological advancements. In this three-part series, we’ll explore the transformative journey of database technology, from its humble beginnings to its current state and future prospects. The Foundation Years (1970s) The modern database era began in 1970 with Dr. Edgar F. Codd’s seminal paper on relational databases. This groundbreaking work laid the theoretical foundation for how we organize and manage data, introducing concepts that remain fundamental to this day....
