Cloud-Native Development

Cloud-native development has become the de facto standard in software development. This is due to a variety of technical advantages such as scalability, flexibility, and cost efficiency, as well as business factors like reduced time-to-market and increased innovation capabilities.

Key Benefits

Scalability

Cloud-native applications enable dynamic scaling, which flexibly adjusts to demand and uses resources efficiently.

Resilience

Thanks to cloud-native architectures, applications are more resilient to failures, ensuring higher availability.

Cost Efficiency

By using cloud resources, costs are optimized because payment is made only for the resources actually used.

Automation

Cloud-native development promotes the automation of deployments and updates, simplifying operations and reducing errors.

Faster Time-to-Market

The cloud-native strategy accelerates the development and delivery of new products, shortening the time-to-market.

Global Deployment

Cloud-native applications can be effortlessly deployed worldwide, enabling businesses to access new markets.

What Are the Technical Requirements for Cloud-Native Application Development?

Support for a microservice architecture for improved modularization
Containerization to make services portable
Use of orchestration tools such as Kubernetes
Automation and deployment via Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD)
DevOps practices
Dynamic scaling to adjust resources based on demand
Resilience and fault tolerance
API-first design
Service discovery and load balancing
Logging and monitoring

Soeldner Consult Cloud-Native Stack

At Soeldner Consult, we guide you through the planning, implementation, and operation of cloud-native solutions. We rely on established products and open-source software to ensure maximum success.

DevOps Platform:

The foundation of every cloud-native application is a stable DevOps platform with integrated CI/CD. We support you in the following areas:

Installation and configuration of GitLab
Introduction of a GitOps strategy
Setting up CI/CD pipelines
Provisioning of container pipelines for building containers

Kubernetes as a Container Orchestrator: Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard for container workloads. With Kubernetes, you can run your workloads in your own data center or in the public cloud. Find more information here.

GitOps with Argo CD: With Argo CD, we utilize a declarative GitOps tool for Kubernetes that automatically deploys and manages applications. It offers a Continuous Delivery solution that enables agile deployment of cloud-native applications with version control, consistency, and reliability. Find more information here

Observability with Prometheus and Grafana Stack: An observability stack can help with cloud-native applications, as it assists developers in effectively monitoring the complexity and dynamics of cloud-native architectures. This includes real-time insights into performance and reliability, quick error detection, and optimized resource management and scalability. We rely on Prometheus and the Grafana stack, which have established themselves as standards for observability.
