One definition of cloud computing is a shared infrastructure for communication and processing. In different organizations, it promotes the effective and efficient processes of growth. For software development operations, cloud computing provides both opportunities and solutions for managing and outsourcing across several geographic locations. Applications developers and businesses use cloud computing to create high-quality software. In this article review the various literature’s study on impact of cloud computing on software development. Cloud computing has revolutionised software development by offering cost-effective, scalable, and flexible solutions that improve innovation and efficiency, according to this review. Services like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud have transformed development processes, enabling faster product delivery and improved organizational control. SMEs benefit from cloud infrastructure by outsourcing management and ensuring continuous resource optimization. Despite challenges related to security, interoperability, and connectivity, cloud computing minimizes redundant development and maximizes efficiency through reusable assets. The shift from on-premises to cloud-based platforms has redefined IT infrastructure, allowing businesses to adapt quickly to evolving demands. Ensuring secure data storage and transmission remains crucial for leveraging cloud computing’s full potential.
