Deciding between applications and services in CloudFoundry PaaS

I need some clarification on an aspect of CloudFoundry architecture guidelines. CF has two major concepts – applications and services. CF-Applications can consume CF-Services using the CloudFoundry infrastructure to create and manage service instances.

Do I need to use cloud services (EC2 / GAE) for my web app?

Noobie to deploying any kind of web app. I have a Java (Play Framework) and MySQL server app running locally. I know that I can deploy it to EC2 (have once as a test), and that I can download some kind of module to get it to run on Google App Engine. But my question is — do I need to?

How to scratch database that query faster for cloud computing

We are planning to develop a cloud based database driven web application which we would like world to use. Till date at the database side we have used fully normalized way to store the data and use multiple joins to retrieve the data and it is good if local system is concerned. But for web, we have learned that nowadays databases are not fully normalized so that there are least joins and loads faster. I have learned Magento is using flat tables to maintain faster loads and then using caching techniques to maintain the state of the data. Correct me if I am wrong.

Best Approach for Sufficient Performance Globally

I am working towards offering an online service globally. The service was constructed and is executed on AWS in the cloud. In addition to the service, there will be a website that functions as landing page and a portal for customers to log in and configure the service itself. Typically, I would build this website using PHP and MySQL on a shared hosting server. Since I plan to offer this service globally and the location of that server is fixed, this approach would lead to poor experiences for users who are far away from the server’s location. I can therefore use a CDN to address this issue partially. However, this approach still neglects the most important aspect, the customer portal for paying customers, which involves server-side code that cannot be cached by the CDN. At least in the beginning before migrating the website or its entire functionality to AWS for optimal performance, I would like to use technologies with which I am already familiar (e.g. PHP, MySQL) to speed up development if it is possible to do so without impeding the website’s performance for users that are far away from the server’s location too severely. Is it possible? Does anybody have any advice?
