Application services, often referred to as application-level services or app services, are a category of software solutions or components that provide various functionalities and features to support the development, deployment, and management of applications.
These services provide the infrastructure and tools necessary to host web applications and websites. They may include web servers, content delivery networks (CDNs), and domain name registration.
Database services offer managed database solutions, including relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server, as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB or Cassandra. These services handle database administration, backup, and scaling.
These services provide identity management, authentication, and authorization features for applications, helping to secure user access and protect sensitive data.
API (Application Programming Interface) management services allow organizations to create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs. This is crucial for enabling communication between different software components and external services.
Content delivery services, often referred to as CDNs, distribute web content, images, videos, and other assets to geographically distributed servers, reducing latency and improving content delivery speed.
These services enable applications to send and receive messages or notifications, facilitating real-time communication and updates to users.
