From an actual implementation perspective there are certain building blocks, patterns, and technologies that are proven to be very useful in solving specific problems. Besides discussing these five key areas, this chapter also covers the most common architectural building blocks.
The goal of this chapter is to equip you with the knowledge necessary to design and build cloud native architectures effectively.
