Today, almost every service now is offered in a “Cloud” variant, but not all cloud services are created equal. The major difference between Cloud Hosted and Cloud-Native lies in their design and architecture. Many established software vendors have added Cloud editions to take advantage of the trend, but this often means paying a premium for the same software running on a virtual machine. In contrast, Cloudsmith is designed from the ground up as a Cloud-Native application that takes full advantage of cloud provider platforms' technology, offering features like fully distributed workloads and scaling for global performance. This approach allows it to harness the power and flexibility of the Cloud and Edge computing, making it a smart CDN for software.
