About this talk

Developers are increasingly adopting open standard and open source tools and services to scale their SaaS applications. Portable, cloud-native architecture means your workloads are built with open and standards-based tools, allowing you to deploy and move them wherever you find the best location, price, or performance. But to make the most of your cloud-native architecture, there are some essential best practices to consider, from design and implementation to maintaining microservices, staying vendor agnostic, and more. In this webinar, learn the ins and outs of building and scaling with cloud-native tools and services. We’ll explore key considerations, such as the need for domain-driven design, automated testing and deployment, and securing services. Plus, you’ll learn how to successfully leverage containers (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), microservices, and open source technologies to ensure your portable cloud-native architecture helps grow your business by lowering costs, increasing performance, and achieving higher availability. You’ll also learn about: • Benefits of adopting a portable cloud-native architecture for SaaS-based applications • Basics of event-driven architecture and implementation best practices • How to lower costs, increase performance, and achieve higher availability • Best practices when using vendor-agnostic technology stacks • How to leverage containerization and open source, cloud-native technologies to ease cloud migrations and run your cloud architecture
