Cloud software development is the process of creating software applications that are hosted on a remote server, or cloud. This type of development has become increasingly popular in recent years, as it offers several advantages over traditional, on-premises software development.
In contrast to custom software development, which requires installing hardware and hosting an application locally, all one needs for cloud software development is an internet connection and a device capable of running the application. These devices can be anything from smartphones and tablets to laptops and desktop computers. The main advantage of this setup is that users don't need to worry about buying additional hardware or hosting their servers - they only need their internet connection and device with access to the app store from which they downloaded the app.
