Ready or not, cloud-native application development is here: Gartner and IDC forecast that 90-95% of apps will be cloud-native by 2025.
Cloud-native companies like Netflix, Airbnb, and Uber have proved the success of cloud-native app development by leveraging massive scale, rapid speed, always-on environments, and continuous updates to break free of the limitations of legacy systems.
But while cloud-native is here and available for any business, a disconnect remains. The term “cloud-native” means a lot of different things to different organizations, which makes it difficult for IT leaders and developers to understand how to prioritize and integrate cloud-native application development into their existing workflows and processes.
A recent survey of over 500 IT professionals and developers confirmed that 53% only know little/somewhat about cloud-native application development.
The bottom line is, if you want to advance your cloud development strategy, or be a cloud-native organization, you need a cloud-first development culture. So, how can organizations bridge the information gap and fully embrace cloud development? (Hint: read on to find out).
