Cloud Native Principles

Cloud native applications are designed to exploit cloud computing advantages.

Twelve-Factor App

  • Codebase in version control
  • Explicit dependencies
  • Config in environment
  • Backing services as resources
  • Strict build/release/run separation
  • Stateless processes
  • Port binding
  • Concurrency via processes
  • Disposability
  • Dev/prod parity
  • Logs as streams
  • Admin processes as one-offs

    • Cloud Native Technologies

  • Containers
  • Microservices
  • Serverless
  • Service mesh
  • Immutable infrastructure

    • Conclusion

    Cloud native development enables scalable, resilient, and manageable applications.
