This post is part of an ongoing series from Cloud Native Computing Foundation Business Value Subcommittee co-chairs Catherine Paganini and Jason Morgan that focuses on explaining each category of the cloud native landscape to a non-technical audience as well as engineers just getting started with cloud native computing. We’ve now arrived at the top layer of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation‘s cloud native landscape (if you missed our previous articles, we covered an introduction and the provisioning, runtime, and orchestration and management layer each in a separate article).

Tools like YugaByte and Couchbase are examples of cloud native databases, although more traditional databases like MySQL and Postgres run successfully and effectively in Kubernetes clusters.

On the developer side, there are tools that simplify the process of extending Kubernetes to build, deploy, and connect applications.

In general, you’ll find projects and products in this space are either CI systems, CD systems, tools that help the CD system decide if the code is ready to be pushed into production, or , in the case of Spinnaker and Argo, all three.
