Cloud Service

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A capability delivered by a cloud platform, such as compute, storage, messaging, database hosting, identity, or monitoring, that developers can consume on demand. Cloud services let teams build on managed primitives instead of running everything themselves.

    In plain English: A service provided by a cloud platform that developers can use directly.

    Example: "The architecture replaced a homegrown scheduler with a managed cloud service that already handled retries, scaling, and observability."
