Cloud-Native Fundamentals: An Introduction to 12-Factor Applications

It seems like a new cloud-native technology or project is launched every week, and though there are technical changes required for building and operating cloud-native applications, technology alone isn’t a silver bullet. It turns out that how you build your applications is critical to enable seamless scaling and resiliency to failures. What do you have to do to ensure your applications can fully leverage the power and flexibility the cloud offers? The 12-Factor principles have been around for a decade and have proven themselves as core, foundational principles for cloud-native applications. But they require changes to how you design your applications, the way teams collaborate on code, and more. Understanding the 12-Factor principles is a strong foundation for adopting cloud-native patterns and practices. Join Pivotal's Nate Schutta, developer advocate, to learn: ● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to building scalable applications ● Which of the 12 Factors are most likely violated by your heritage applications ● What you can do to make your existing applications more 12-Factor compliant ● Which of the 12 Factors are most critical to applications moving to the cloud ● How to externalize state and configuration in order to simplify scaling and code changes Presenter :Nate Schutta, Software Architect
