Subversion (“SVN”) continues to be a leading Version Control System globally due to its file locking features, robust version history, native support for binary files, and dependable documentation. However, many development teams continue using SVN on-prem — what does your team stand to gain from moving to the cloud, we’re glad you asked!
For starters, being tied to local data access can pose a challenge while collaborating with a team or while one is simply away from their main device. Working in the cloud is the new golden standard for successful projects, and not just because COVID has led to a spike in remote work. Moving to the cloud keeps your data easily accessible, safe, reliable, and secure with integrated collaboration tools all in one place. In the cloud, instant access to code is always available worldwide with an internet connection. Working from the office to home, and anywhere in between, is flexible and effortless. Collaboration between teams instantly becomes exponentially easier, and your data is safely stored remotely in case of a disaster.
Although moving to the cloud has significant benefits we know that migrating online can be costly and challenging to do on your own. Hiring a dedicated devops team to build or maintain necessary applications and infrastructure is an unreasonable cost for small and large teams alike. Reliable hard drive systems can be an investment, especially when you consider backups in multiple locations. Corrupted data, outdated equipment and damaged or lost hard drives can be detrimental to your project, not to mention can open you up to security vulnerabilities. Optimizing backup schedules is complex and data transfer costs can be higher than anticipated. Any collaboration tools need to be easily understood at a glance with powerful search engines and organized document and task management. Administrative costs can quickly inflate when drawing from available resources in order to effectively maintain cloud infrastructure. Migrating to the cloud can be overwhelming when you put together all the moving pieces into a whole system.
