Cloud-Native Architecture and Microservices
Anju Bhole · Journal of Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning and Data Science · 2023
The emergence of cloud-native architecture is transforming the way organizations develop, deploy, and oversee software applications, allowing them to fully exploit cloud capabilities.By adopting microservices, businesses can enhance scalability, flexibility, and fault tolerance since microservices provide a modular method for application development in which each service can be independently deployed and scaled.This paper delves into the fundamental principles of cloud-native architecture, emphasizing microservices as the driving force behind its implementation.It underscores the revolutionary effect of technologies like containerization and Kubernetes, which streamline the management and deployment of microservices within cloud environments.The research assesses the advantages of cloud-native architectures, including faster development cycles, increased agility, and heightened resilience against failures.Additionally, it addresses the challenges organizations encounter when shifting from monolithic architectures to microservices, such as the complexities of service communication, data consistency, and security.Through an extensive literature review and case studies, this paper offers valuable insights into how microservices within cloud-native architectures are redefining contemporary software development and deployment methodologies, while also examining potential risks and strategies for their mitigation.
