Cloud Native
The cloud native programming model is the "interface" that Kubernetes and microServies applications implement "to build and run scalable applications in modern, dynamic environments such as public, private, and hybrid clouds. Containers, service meshes, microservices, immutable infrastructure, and declarative APIs exemplify this approach".
In contrast, cloud enabled applications are traditional applications that have been changed to run in a cloud environment.
Twelve-factor methodology
The twelve-factor methodology describes best practices for building software-as-a-service applications such as using declarative formats, maximizing portability, designed for cloud platforms, enabling continuous deployment and scaling.
Build to Manage
Build to manage is the idea of integrating logging, monitoring, and management capabilities into the DevOps pipeline.
Srangler Pattern
The strangler pattern incrementally migrates a monolithic application to microservices using a strangler interface to dispatch subsets of behavior to microservices.
Backend for Frontend
The Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern uses intermediate microservices applications to connect a frontend to a backend. Complex backend systems are exposed to different frontends using different services without a monolothic API that attempts to serve all clients equally.
Entity and Aggregate
The Entity and Aggregate pattern uses microservices that aggregates lifecycle operations on a set of dependent entities.
Adapter Microservice
The Adapter microservice pattern wraps and translates existing services into an entity-based REST interface.
