Applications designed specifically for cloud environments
Built for the Cloud
Cloud-native applications are designed from the ground up to leverage cloud computing's advantages: elastic scaling, resilience, and continuous deployment. They use microservices architectures, containers, and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes. Unlike simply moving existing apps to the cloud ("lift and shift"), cloud-native apps fully embrace cloud paradigms.

Cloud-native principles
Cloud-native apps embrace automation, immutability, and declarative infrastructure. They scale horizontally by adding instances rather than vertically by adding resources. They're designed for failure—assuming components will fail and building resilience through redundancy. This approach enables rapid iteration, global scale, and high availability.
