Cloud technologies have yielded a number of positives for software development — a certain ease by tearing down the monolith and letting developers work with smaller, decentralized parts that can be used across multiple applications. Cloud technologies also enable flexibility that empowers development teams to move faster, test and roll back when something does not work as expected.

Or they request spinning up pay-as-you-go cloud environments, where cost can escalate quickly and negate the promise of cloud native efficiency.

By extension, these changes lead to a slower feedback loop and slower software releases — again detracting from the purported benefits of cloud native development.

Take a look at and prioritize the biggest challenges of cloud native development and barriers to achieving safe, fast and frequent releases.
