Cloud Native Spring in Action • Thomas Vitale & Josh Long

Join Thomas Vitale and Josh Long as they explore the principles and practices of cloud-native development, highlighting the importance of robust, scalable, and resilient software, observability, and service discovery in cloud-native applications.

Key takeaways

Cloud-native development is about building, it’s about architecture.
Cloud-native applications aim to be robust, scalable, and resilient.
The 12-factor app manifesto emphasizes independence, loosely coupled systems, and focusing on business capability.
Reliable and consistent APIs are crucial for cloud-native applications.
Cloud-native applications should be designed for observability, allowing monitoring and debugging of complex systems.
Service discovery is essential for cloud-native applications and can be achieved through Kubernetes.
Istio and other service meshes are used to manage service-to-service communication and authentication.
The concept of “Cloud-Native” is an abstraction, and it’s about building software, not about the cloud itself.
Cloud-Native development is about designing software to work well in a distributed environment.
Microservices and event-driven systems are important concepts in cloud-native development.
Observability and monitoring are crucial for cloud-native applications.
Cloud-Native development allows for better scalability, reliability, and resilience.
It’s essential to consider the organizational needs and requirements when adopting cloud-native development.
Cloud-Native development is not necessarily about using containers, but about building robust, scalable, and resilient software.
Test containers are useful for automated testing and CI/CD pipelines.
Docker and other containerization technologies are used to manage containerized applications.
Key factors for cloud-native development include observability, monitoring, and service discovery.
Cloud-Native development aims to provide a consistent and reliable experience for users.
It’s essential to have a clear understanding of the business needs and requirements when building cloud-native applications.
