Methodology
In the dynamic technology landscape, multicloud deployment is a rising paradigm in backend development. It involves using multiple cloud services from different providers to host applications and manage data. This report examines the motivations for backend developers adopting multicloud deployment, like vendor lock-in avoidance and cost optimisation, while addressing the major challenges faced by developers.
