What does cloud native app mean?

by Aug 9, 2022

For me it means:

1) An app that knows how to scale out instead of up.

The first fallacy of distributed computing is ‘the network is reliable’. This was true on-premise, but in the cloud this has been amplified 1000x. A cloud native app is designed for this inevitable failure. Embracing that not all services are always available..

What does it mean to you?
