By utilizing a combination of cloud computing and various cloud services to create a customizable modular infrastructure with greater scalability, cloud native architecture improves IT operations teams’ efficiency, productivity, and collaborative efforts
In contrast to a monolithic application infrastructure, cloud native architecture is a design methodology that makes use of cloud services like EC2, S3, Lambda from AWS, and others to enable dynamic and agile application development techniques that take a modular approach to building, running, and updating software through a suite of cloud-based microservices.
By making it simpler to transfer services between cloud providers or to independently deploy services in various languages or frameworks without conflict or downtime, microservices and containerization support cloud native applications’ agility and dynamism.
As DevOps teams are able to independently work on various application components at the same time or implement new features without sacrificing stability, incorporating a microservices architecture into application development promotes collaboration, efficiency, and productivity.
