Frequently Asked Questions
Cloud-native development is an approach to building and running applications that fully leverages the advantages of the cloud computing model. It's not just about running applications in the cloud; it's about architecting them to be resilient, scalable, and agile. Key components include microservices, containers (like Docker), container orchestration (like Kubernetes), and automated CI/CD pipelines.
"Lift and shift" involves moving an existing application to the cloud with minimal changes. While this can be a first step, it doesn't unlock the cloud's full potential. Cloud-native development re-architects the application to use cloud services optimally, resulting in better scalability, higher resilience, improved developer velocity, and lower long-term costs compared to simply running a monolith on a cloud server.
If you're facing challenges like slow release cycles, difficulty scaling to meet demand, high infrastructure costs, or system fragility, you are likely a strong candidate for a cloud-native approach. We start with a readiness assessment to evaluate your specific situation and recommend a pragmatic path forward, which may not require a full rewrite all at once.
The key benefits are agility and resilience. Because services are small and independent, teams can develop, deploy, and scale them separately, dramatically increasing development speed. Furthermore, if one service fails, it doesn't bring down the entire application, leading to much higher overall system uptime and fault tolerance.
No, and for most companies, you shouldn't. Kubernetes has a steep learning curve. Our service includes managing the complexity of Kubernetes for you. We leverage managed K8s services from cloud providers (EKS, GKE, AKS) and implement best practices for security, monitoring, and operations, so you can focus on your application logic, not on orchestrator administration.
We follow a "DevSecOps" or "shift-left" security model. Security is integrated from the very beginning of the development process. This includes static code analysis, container image scanning, implementing network policies to control traffic between services (zero-trust), managing secrets securely, and continuous compliance monitoring. Our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications validate our commitment to robust security practices.
