Cloud Native Trend Report

Here at DZone, it’s always exciting to see new technologies emerge and to observe trends that spark evolution across industries. We’re further inspired by the diverse groups of people and companies who join forces to innovate, create tools, and contribute to the space. Because of that, such efforts cascade down to the individual developer and have a lasting impact. 

Today, these initiatives are driving the adoption of a standardized approach for developing and deploying software applications to the cloud — becoming ‘cloud native.’ 

In the past, a large piece of software contained many modules, usually tightly coupled. New principles like CI/CD emerged and put an emphasis on continuous testing and security. As a result, testing became more efficient, the cost of software maintenance declined, and the overall complexity of the SDLC decreased. 

With the growing development and availability of cloud technology also came different ways of looking at and solving software problems. These techniques and supporting tools shaped what’s broadly known today as cloud native computing. 

Microservices — an approach that’s taken over the software industry and its utilization of cloud resources — involves breaking applications into smaller separate pieces of software, all running independently to solve a larger problem.
