Chapter 1. Introduction to Cloud Native
The software development landscape is constantly changing and evolving through modern architectural paradigms and technologies. From time to time, software architecture goes through a fundamental shift with the emergence of breakthrough technologies and approaches. One such breakthrough is cloud native architecture. It is such a major shift in the context of software application development, one that changes the way we build, ship, and manage software applications. Cloud native architecture has become an enabler of agility, speed, safety, and adaptability for software applications.
This chapter helps you understand what cloud native is by exploring the key characteristics of cloud native applications. We’ll also introduce a development methodology that you can use throughout the life cycle of cloud native applications. Then we’ll focus on the importance of using design patterns for developing cloud native applications. Let’s begin our discussion by defining cloud native.
