Cloud-based systems

PHP roles focused on Cloud-based systems involve designing, building, and maintaining applications architected specifically to run on cloud infrastructure. This represents a fundamental shift from traditional monolithic applications, embracing principles of distributed computing to achieve high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability. Developers working on these systems leverage a wide array of cloud services to create modern, resilient software solutions that can adapt to changing demands.

Architecting and Developing for the Cloud

As a PHP developer in this domain, your work will center on building applications composed of smaller, independent services (microservices) that communicate over APIs. You will utilize services like message queues for asynchronous processing and managed databases for data persistence. A key part of the role is to design systems that can scale horizontally, automatically adding or removing resources based on traffic, and to ensure there is no single point of failure.

Key Competencies for PHP Developers

• Strong understanding of cloud architecture principles like high availability and fault tolerance.
• Experience with API gateways, message queues (SQS, RabbitMQ), and caching services (Redis, Memcached).
• Proficiency in containerization with Docker and orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of serverless frameworks and deploying PHP functions to platforms like AWS Lambda.
• Ability to implement monitoring, logging, and alerting for distributed systems.
