Cloud Native
Cloud Native is a software development approach that leverages cloud computing to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. It emphasizes using microservices, containers, service meshes, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs to enable loosely coupled systems that are resilient, manageable, and observable. This methodology allows organizations to deliver software quickly and respond to changes efficiently.
Developers should adopt Cloud Native practices when building applications that require high scalability, resilience, and rapid deployment, such as in e-commerce, SaaS platforms, or IoT systems. It is essential for modern DevOps and continuous delivery pipelines, enabling teams to innovate faster and reduce operational overhead by automating infrastructure management and leveraging cloud services.
