Top Changing Trends in Java Architecture
Although it seems too quick, there seems to be a definite shift in the way the Java technology is going to be used in the near future. Cloud is where the future lies and it is inconceivable that any other technology can overtake cloud, judging by the pace at which it is moving. Java is the preferred technology for cloud application architects who spend a lot of time trying to design frameworks that are not only efficient but also low costing when implemented. All this has changed a few established trends in Java programming and if your Java training course instructor has not introduced you to them, this article will.
Pervasive Frameworks
One of the reasons that app architects prefer working with frameworks is their reusability. Once they design a basic framework in general, it can be reused in all other apps which will be designed subsequently. There are other effects of using this approach. It not only increases productivity of the app developers but also reduces costs. Even if the framework is designed for an app that belongs to a specific category, that framework can be used when another app is developed in that specific category. This is one of the reasons why all architects of modern day prefer working with frameworks than developing apps from ground up, contrary to how it was done previously.
Data Explosion
While low data is a big problem, excess data is a bigger problem. That is exactly what modern day Java developers have to work with. A survey which was conducted by EMC showed that data is increasing exponentially by the day and today, it is close to a couple of Zettabytes. Apps should consider all this data when they are being executed. The sheer size of Zettabyte is way over the RDBMS concept based storage. This is another changing trend in Java.
Cloud Economics
The concept of a database on a cloud is completely different from your normal storage servers. While Java developers and architects were attuned to work with normal servers, the change to cloud based storage and platform might force them to rethink their frameworks and other associated logistics of app development. While the change is nothing major, the performance of the app might depend on how efficiently the data transfer happens, which is essential for the performance of the app. This is another major trend change that app developers have to keep in mind.

The thing I am not clear on is whether the term, the cloud’ is a general term that encompasses any type of service that uses cloud servers or does this term just refer to a cloud server itself? I see the term all over the internet, so I am thinking it is a very general term
Heidi says
How many people actually use this to store personal information or sensitive information as well? I can’t trust using it for that purpose, not because of the equipment but because of the people that run it, who has access to what?

I have heard about the Cloud before and it has been suggested to me to use it but I don’t think it has been explained quite as good as this before. Thank you for taking the time to put this information together and you did it in a very thoughtful way!
