Cloud-native applications have become ubiquitous in IT environments. Review key principles, patterns and developmental factors to keep in mind before creating a cloud-native app.

In contrast to the traditional Waterfall software development lifecycle, cloud-native applications are developed with a more Agile methodology. Changes are frequently released into a production environment through automated delivery pipelines, and infrastructure is managed at the code level.
