2021 cloud-native development outlook

Strategic differentiation often stems from custom applications. Cloud-native development is an
IT operating model to design and manage applications as-a-service on any cloud—public, private,
hybrid, or the edge. Software is everywhere, both in the products enterprises deliver to their customers
and partners, and in the processes that create and support those products. Companies' ability to
win, serve, and retain customers depends on their ability to deliver new capabilities through software
applications, rapidly and continuously.
Cloud-native is a common term today, but is it more than just a buzzword? Could it be the next phase
of modern application development?
