Cloud-native architecture takes advantage of the distributed, scalable, flexible nature of the public cloud to maximize business value and keeping customers happy.
FREMONT, CA: Change is the vital factor profoundly impacting business in the digital age. Both customer behaviors and the business environment are constantly changing. Technology is also advancing rapidly, and these circumstances, digital transformation has become vital for firms to prepare for all the new challenges and demands. The cloud is helping organizations connect people, data, and processes in many ways to embrace the possibilities put forth by modern technologies. To succeed in a digital-first world, business leaders are also bringing business and IT closer together and optimizing processes to create new value for customers. And, that’s actually one of the strongest reasons to consider investing in adopting the cloud-native model.
The cloud-native approach is designed to capitalize on the scalability and flexibility of the cloud. In contrast to traditional applications, cloud-native applications are built using multiple, independent microservices that are deployed in cloud environments. Cloud-native development takes an agile approach to creating new applications. Using a continuous delivery model, software development teams can quickly, iteratively, and automatically add new features to an application.
The cloud-native model helps you bring new features online so customers can use them right away. Because the cloud-native approach encourages efficiency and flexibility, it directly accelerates business growth. Businesses can scale resources to handle user demand and reach even more people quickly. By using this cloud platform, the company can be more responsive and relevant to its app updates. This kind of continuous integration and self-service is popular with customers, who become more likely to buy and use the app, as well as potentially tell others about it.
From building a new cloud-native app to modernizing the existing software platforms, it’s time for firms to make a move to a process that can simplify and amplify efforts. To get started, firms can start with reviewing their existing application estate to develop a strategy and roadmap with business objectives and priorities to build cloud-native based on projected business outcomes.
