In reality, functions and containers are different technologies, each serving a particular purpose, whereas microservices describes an architectural style. That said, understanding how to best use functions and containers, along with eventing or messaging technologies, allows developers to design, develop, and operate a new generation of cloud native microservices-based applications in the most efficient and agile way. To make the correct architectural decisions to design those types of applications, it is important to understand the basics of the underlying terms and technologies. This chapter explains important technologies used with cloud native applications and concludes by providing an overview of the microservices architectural style.
