Avoid Downtime With Angular Support and Maintenance Services

Angular is an outstanding framework, and tech companies worldwide trust it to develop scalable, robust web applications. However, launching an Angular app is only the start; it's not enough to ensure your apps run smoothly in the long term. Like any modern software application, Angular applications must be supported and maintained over time to provide security, efficiency, and remain in sync with evolving business needs.

Even the best Angular applications can experience performance degradation, compatibility issues, and security vulnerabilities. Angular continues to evolve with regularly scheduled version upgrades and ecosystem changes. Expert support is often needed to track and ensure the app doesn't fall behind.

This is where an Angular support and maintenance service comes into play. It can be any number of issues, including bug fixes (however quick), version upgrades, and incremental performance optimizations. Angular support will save your time, reduce downtime, and improve user satisfaction.

In this blog, we will break down Angular support and maintenance, and how it can help you stay ahead of the competition.

Why Businesses Choose Angular for Software Development?

Angular offers numerous benefits over other platforms and frameworks in software development. It uses a single codebase to build web, mobile, and desktop applications, resulting in less hassle and greater efficiency. It's built on TypeScript, which helps catch errors early, making maintenance and support easier than on other platforms. If you compare React vs Angular, the latter proves itself better for development of large-scale enterprise-level applications and complex projects. 

Common Challenges Tech Businesses Face with Angular Maintenance

Maintaining Angular applications can become increasingly complex over time, especially for rapidly growing tech businesses. Here are some of the most common challenges you might encounter:

1. Compatibility Issues with Angular Version Updates

Angular has a history of regularly releasing new versions, which typically include new angular features, deprecate old methods, and enhance performance. Knowing this, an upgrade is usually easy to implement, but it does not guarantee that it will not break something that is currently functional.  Unless qualified updates are performed on these upgrades, they may easily compromise application stability or require significant rework.

2. Performance Bottlenecks in Production Environments

Even for a well-developed Angular application, there are still likely to be some slow load times, memory leaks, or a lagging user interface once the app is scaled to a production-level environment. These issues, which are prevalent in any web application, can leave customers frustrated and impact the bottom line in terms of revenue or business outcomes. Performance tuning, such as optimizing lazy loading, change detection, or bundle sizes, all require in-depth knowledge of Angular that is not usually available with internal teams.

3. Security Vulnerabilities and Patch Management

Like all web applications, Angular apps are vulnerable to various cybersecurity threats that may emerge as technology advances. With outdated dependencies and cross-site scripting (XSS) being examples, missing regular code patching and audits can lead to potentially business-damaging issues. Maintaining secure code requires ongoing maintenance, regular updates, and auditing of current practices, as stuck patching processes can easily go unnoticed without a dedicated team working exclusively on security.

4. Lack of In-House Angular Expertise or Bandwidth

Your internal development team may be working on new features, product innovations, or core business tasks. Preserving existing Angular apps may not be their focus (or within their skill set). Therefore, this leads to backlogs, unresolved bugs, and a decline in overall product quality. Without specialized knowledge of Angular or dedicated Angular development, long-term app health becomes a bottleneck. 

5. Difficulty in Fixing Bugs Without Disrupting Operations

In production environments, even minor bugs can often cause noticeable friction for end-users or result in lost revenue for businesses. But fixing bugs can cause other disturbances and downtimes in production. Therefore, having a systematic, low-risk deployment and rollback plan for when things go wrong is fundamental to avoid these disturbances. Without a support framework to do these kinds of fixes, companies spend a lot of time firefighting around an issue rather than preventing it.

What Do Angular Support & Maintenance Services Involve?

Developing an Angular application is just the first step. After launching an app, it must be kept operational, healthy, secure, and up to date. The support and maintenance aspect of Angular ensures that your application continues to perform as your user base evolves.

1. Bug Fixes and Errors

While every app will make every effort to do everything right, unexpected issues can arise. For example, a button may stop working, or a part of the user interface will glitch. While these instances are unfortunate, support teams bring expertise to react quickly and address the issues before users realize there may be a problem. 

2. Upgrading Angular Versions

Angular advances quickly, which means upgrades will introduce new features, functionality, and performance improvements, as well as occasionally deprecate existing features. Upgrading your application is more complicated as it requires comprehensive testing, refactoring of your code, and validation to ensure everything works as intended. The maintenance and support team can manage this process, ensuring your application remains current and operational.

3. Performance Improvements

Over time, applications undergo frequent changes, which can lead to several issues. Applications can start to build up code that isn't significant (code bloat), and users might notice performance degradation over time. Performance improvements can be assessed by examining load times, module delivery, and code bundling. Tactics like lazy loading and splitting a code block into smaller modules help users avoid wasting time waiting. 

4. Securing the Application

Security is not a one-and-done deal. There is ongoing maintenance, which includes vulnerability scans, patching, and anticipating any other potential threats. Continuing maintenance and security patching to protect user data is crucial, particularly in industries such as finance, healthcare, or e-commerce. 

5. Supporting Third-party Tools and APIs 

Angular apps rely on third-party components, such as payment gateways, extensible charts, and authentication tools. When these external services upgrade, your app needs to integrate properly. Maintenance teams monitor, maintain, and support API integrations/third-party tools, particularly when code is subject to change over time.

6. Ensuring an App's Health

Monitoring tools are like the check engine light for your software. Monitoring tools can even detect trends that indicate a slowdown, crash, or downtime before a user notices. By reviewing logs and monitoring performance trends, the team can ensure they are being proactive in keeping the app up and running. 

7. Enhancing the User Experience

The expectations of users change. What felt intuitive a year ago can feel clunky today. That’s why support isn’t just reactive, fixing things. Support also means enhancing applications. Implementing UI and UX enhancements based on first-hand and real-world feedback keeps your application fun, engaging, accessible, and easy to use.
