Together, with the Cloud movement and its functions and benefits, Software practices and trends have been converging towards creating or migrating the applications towards a Cloud-Native compliant architecture. This may include:
- Microservices, where you have independently deployable applications with their isolated data persistent layers, which are not shared along with other services.
- Polyglot architecture, where you are not tied to a homogenous stack with a single programming language. You can also use the data persistency option, rather using different language stacks for different purposes and also benefiting from several different types of Database and Datastore options.
- Containers, where you define all your application dependencies, thus guaranteeing the portability all the way from developer workstation to production.
- Serverless, where you split your application into functions and deploy those functions to a Cloud-managed cluster where you do not notice any underlying server and middleware maintenance and can define several options to trigger those services.
