Superficial cloud native

NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar. Understand more

Hold ? Proceed with caution

The term "cloud native" was originally used to describe architectures with characteristics that took maximum advantage of public cloud hosting. Examples include distributed architectures composed of many small, stateless and collaborating processes, and systems with high levels of automation for building, testing and deploying applications. However, we've noticed a growing trend toward superficial cloud native designs that simply use a lot of a cloud vendor's proprietary services and stop there without revisiting the fundamentally monolithic, brittle or toil-intensive nature of the application. It’s important to remember that serverless functions by themselves don't make an application more resilient or easier to maintain and that cloud native is really a matter of design rather than a set of implementation choices.
