Let’s take a closer look at the cloud-native concept and what it means.

Cloud computing is well past the emerging stage. It’s no longer a radical idea for businesses to depend on cloud platforms and services to serve as their technology backbone--and the numbers show it. In 2018, Forrester reported that nearly 60% of North American enterprises rely on public cloud platforms.
