Cloud Native Development: A Comprehensive Guide from Planning to Testing

A comprehensive guide for planning, designing, developing and testing your cloud native application.

Master the Lifecycle of Cloud Native Applications: Plan, Design, Develop, and Test

Going Cloud Native the Right Way

Cloud native has become one of the biggest trends in the software industry. It has already changed the way we think about developing, deploying and operating software products.

Even in our day, few people understand what is necessary to properly design and build a cloud application architecture that exploits all of the amenities in a modern cloud services environment. The result of this lamentable lack of skills and experience is the deployment of many poorly functioning cloud applications. In comparison with mature, reliable legacy monolithic applications, such poorly built cloud applications don't deliver the value that enterprises have come to expect.

This eBook will guide you through the entire lifecycle of cloud native development to avoid common pitfalls and get the most out of going the cloud native route.

Key takeaways:

  • The benefits and challenges of adopting cloud native architecture
  • A framework for assessing whether or not your application is a candidate for cloud native development
  • The key considerations of planning, designing, developing and testing your cloud native application
