There are many challenges that the developers will come across while developing or migrating applications to cloud. This paper intends to discuss various points that the developers need to be aware of during the development or migration of the application to the cloud in terms of various parameters like security, manageability, optimal storage transactions, programmer productivity, debugging and profiling, etc. The paper provides insights into how to overcome these challenges when developing / migrating the on-premise application on to cloud and the difference in programming when targeting the on-premise data center and cloud. The primary focus area for cloud in this paper would be on Microsoft Windows Azure, Google App Engine and Amazon cloud.
