As developers, you likely use cloud infrastructure platforms for application deployment, driven by factors such as elasticity, agility, and cost savings. To avoid vendor lock-in, your app needs cloud portability, allowing seamless migration to any cloud without modifications. The Cloudify recipe for Couchbase provides a flexible way to deploy applications to various cloud infrastructures, specifying deployment configurations and enabling easy testing and deployment. Additionally, the Cloudify widget offers a simple way to get started with deploying Couchbase and testing your app, although it may not provide the full experience of a complete cloud deployment.
