Cloud-native software

Cloud-native software is a collection of applications designed and built to take full advantage of cloud computing environments. Unlike traditional software that might be adapted to run on the cloud, cloud-native applications are created specifically for the cloud from the ground up. This means they are often built using technologies like containers, microservices and application programming interfaces (APIs).

A key benefit of cloud-native software is its ability to scale easily and handle a lot of data at once. This is perfect for modern, distributed systems where information needs to be processed quickly and reliably. This approach allows for greater flexibility, resilience and faster deployment cycles. This is essential for modern, distributed systems like those used in supply chain management.
