Cloud-Native Architecture: What it is and how can it benefit your business

Everything you need to know about one of the latest and biggest developments within the software industry.

Cloud-native architecture is one of the biggest developments within the IT industry within the past few years. This has increased its adoption and it is now being used by more development companies than ever before. Today we’re going to share with you everything you need to know about this solution. With the aim of increasing your understanding of cloud-native architecture and outlining the benefits, it could offer to your company.

Cloud-native architecture – what is it?

Cloud-native architecture is a software development solution that uses the public cloud when writing code. It creates a scalable and flexible solution that offers many advantages to its users. These benefits are then transferred to the clients of software houses in the form of faster development times and cost reductions.

The great news about cloud-native architecture is that it works to remove some of the constraints associated with software development. Your developers don’t have to worry about anything apart from the code for your application. It allows teams of software developers to try out ideas and experiment without worrying so much about the outcome. With fewer constraints, the cloud-native architecture allows companies to expand in ways they would never have thought possible in the past.

What are the benefits of cloud-native architecture?

As you can probably already tell, there are many benefits to businesses who are opting to use cloud-native architecture.

Rapid innovation

Thanks to the removal of some of the constraints, cloud-native architecture offers a solution for rapid development. When you have a suggestion or an issue, the developers will be able to try out new ideas to resolve this problem straightaway.  By taking out some of the time-consuming parts of the process, ideas can become a reality in no time at all. As a software development company, this is one of our favourite things about cloud-native architecture.

Better understand your users

Companies so often struggle to truly understand what their customers are after. This is where projects often go off track, and your initial idea ends up being something else entirely. The closer a development team can place themselves to the users, the better the end results will be.

A cheaper and easier solution

Cloud-native architecture is much more cost-friendly and easier to implement than other software solutions. It offers one of the lowest points of entry, and you will only pay for what you use. In fact, companies don’t have to pay for anything upfront. When they decide to add features or services, they can just pay at this time. For companies that are reasonably small but that are hoping to expand in the future,  this is a scalable solution. It’s so easy to access extra tools without the risk and resources that other software development processes require.

DevOps drives the development

DevOps-driven development is something that offers businesses many advantages. It offers continuous integration and continuous development, and when you use containers for development, you’ll ensure that your apps are built to run in the way that you expect them to be. Our team is very experienced in this area, so don’t worry if you don’t fully understand this development area.

Improved security

One of the biggest concerns for companies when building new applications is security. With cloud-native architecture, you’ll be able to automate your security standards. The cloud makes it much easier to define these standards and then replicate these throughout the whole infrastructure. You’ll find it to be a great solution for companies of all sizes.
