How Cloud Developer Platform Open Developers Will Choose

The Internet community has not only the ecological industrial chain built by Microsoft, Apple, and Google, but also the open platform provided by Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba. In the environment where Internet giants have begun to provide cloud computing services and dominate the lifeline of the industry, it seems difficult to become the next giant. However, based on the open platform of cloud computing and the background of the rising tide of mobile Internet, developers can choose to access the open. Platform to create another myth of "Angry Bird", "Fruit Ninja" and "Plant vs. Zombies." How to choose platform access? How to better use cloud computing to meet their own needs? This is the biggest puzzle that many developers and emerging startups face at this stage.

At the first "China Internet Wireless Summit and Alibaba Cloud Developer Conference" held recently, Yu Yang, President of Analysys International, warned developers and emerging start-up companies: Cloud computing offers opportunities for many entrepreneurs, but before choosing a project, we must According to the current environment, we must focus on one point, and try to touch the areas similar to the core genes of the Internet giant.

The cloud era has arrived When the Internet giant proposed the concept of cloud computing, many people felt “cloudy” and “unintelligible”, but as the cloud computing market matured, it was now “cloudy”. So, what are the opportunities for developers in the era of cloud computing?

At the summit, Alibaba Cloud Computing relied on the advantage of Alibaba Group's massive data, in-depth research on the trends and behaviors behind the data, and focused on publishing Alibaba's cloud computing services and products, including the cloud developer platform and open storage services. Rendering and so on. The "Aliyun Cloud Application Development Contest" launched in the same period provided developers with a 1 million yuan after-tax bonus. Aliyun hopes that this move will bring closer the distance between developers and developers, allowing more developers to choose Alibaba Cloud platform and “singing” on this platform to build an ideal ecological industrial chain.

Wang Jian, Chief Architect of Alibaba Group, explained the cloud computing with an image metaphor. “When we were young, many places wanted to drink water at home. We had to use a well at the door of our house. Every household had a well. Wells were needed to be selected. Otherwise, it would be very likely that we would spend time trying to drill a well without water, or we could not drink enough water. In short, from the time you want to drink water to digging a well to drinking water, the process can be time-consuming and laborious, but at this stage, when you buy a house, you already have water, and the process is greatly simplified, which is the credit of the water plant. In the industry, cloud computing is equivalent to tap water plants. When you need them, you don't have to build your own servers, and you can start with safe, clean water.” Wang Jian said: “Although we are now familiar with tap water, For many Internet developers and startups, the cloud computing platform is likely to be the 'water' for life."

For developers and startups, speed is equal to life. Developers have developed a product that needs to be pushed to the user as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the user is prepared to flock to or from the user. At this point, the traditional way of buying equipment became a big problem, and creativity would become worthless because of time. How to do?

At this point, renting some servers to the cloud computing platform can solve the above problems well. Cloud computing includes a computing platform (corresponding system), computing power (corresponding CPU), storage space (hard disk), rendering (corresponding graphics card), etc. They simulate a personal computer and also surpass the computer.

"Now we play a lot of mobile games on the cloud computing platform, including overseas happy farm and other games have applied this concept, there are more and more companies in the country adopted this method." A developer said.

Tian Yan, chairman of Rongyu, believes that entrepreneurship is easier than before. “In the past, when I was doing hardware, not only did it require a lot of capital investment, but it also required years of technology accumulation and the threshold for entrepreneurship was too high. But now the major Internet giants have provided cloud computing services and financing channels as long as developers have wisdom, ability, and dreams. With hard work, we can start the road to entrepreneurship."

Cloud computing is paving the way for developers and startups. Relevant agencies predict that by 2020, cloud computing will store 15% of global customer and business data, while about 1/3 of the information will be passed through the “cloud”. According to the "White Paper on China Cloud Computing Industry Development," it is expected that by 2012, the cloud computing market in China will reach 60.678 billion yuan.

Cloud computing market "cake" grow bigger and bigger. In order to further promote market development, the National Development and Reform Commission recently decided to set aside 1.5 billion yuan of special funds to support leading companies in the domestic cloud computing industry. People seem to see that an era of "cloud life" is slowly approaching.

Mobile Internet becomes the biggest opportunity In the era of cloud computing, various opportunities emerge in an endless stream. What aspects should developers start with? Mobile internet will undoubtedly become the biggest opportunity.

No matter if angel investor Lei Jun made Xiaomi mobile phone or Rong Xiuli’s “second startup” and Aliyun cooperated in the development of smart phones, or many venture capital agencies are optimistic about the mobile Internet market, all kinds of information indicate that China’s mobile Internet market is erupting. Eve of the night. Around 2000, the number of Internet users in China was only around 100 million, but it created companies with market capitalization of several hundred billion US dollars, such as Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba. Now that the mobile Internet has 8.9 billion users, they can access the Internet anywhere and anytime. This business opportunity will certainly be more than 10 times that of the Internet in the past.

"The presence of Internet giants such as Microsoft, Google, Apple, Baidu, Tencent, and Alibaba has made it difficult for entrepreneurs and small and micro enterprises to become the next giant. However, these Internet giants have opened their own platforms. As a result, developers You can show your skills on these platforms.” Yu Yang said that on the surface, cloud computing is like a stage prop that competes among big companies, but in fact, developers and startup companies are precisely the biggest benefit in the era of cloud computing applications. By.

"For more and more users of video, game and other application product storage needs, Alibaba Cloud has deployed a cloud computing platform. The user's contacts, text messages, phone records, photos, recordings, notes can be synchronized to 100G. In cloud space, it can store almost all of the text messages of a user for a lifetime. At the same time, mobile phone software used by users can also be placed on the Internet. Theoretically, this is an infinitely large amount of space for putting unlimited software on demand. This is cloud application.” Zeng Ming, Chief of Staff of the Strategy Division of Alibaba Group, stated: “Developers can develop various cloud application products. Currently, there are hundreds of free software on the Ali cloud platform in the cloud application market. These products can serve users together.”

Allowing developers to develop various applications on their own cloud computing platforms has become the most enjoyable situation for many Internet giants. Google's Android platform, Apple's iOS platform, and Baidu, Tencent and other companies' development platforms are all opportunities for developers.

Developers should make a difference. How to choose a cloud computing development platform. Yu Yang stated that there are many opportunities for developers to revolve around the "cloud" and the mobile Internet, mainly including three aspects.

"First of all, from an application point of view, applications include three levels, one is a technical level, for example, we see some security protection, operating systems, browsers and other applications; the second is the level of tools, such as power-saving tools, help Users are better managed, etc. Third, they are social level, users of such products are highly viscous, followed by offline services, which is currently referred to as the O2O industry, and finally the service of small and medium-sized enterprises. Cloud services provide Internet services for SMEs to improve their value chain.” Yu Yang believes that cloud computing is in line with the evolution of multi-screen, full-network, and cross-platform. There are many opportunities for entrepreneurship here.

In addition, Yu Yang also believes that in the current era of mobile Internet, developers can not do big and complete projects. "To be a public cloud platform requires capital, users, and the scale of products and operations. If we haven't reached this scale, we can only do basic products and then extend it based on small positioning. In addition, never see what we see today. Places where big companies already excel."

The internet giants have opened their own platforms so that developers can get their hands on these platforms. On the surface, cloud computing is like a stage prop for big companies, but in reality, developers and startup companies are the biggest beneficiaries of cloud computing applications.
