Summary

In this chapter, we have learned what a cloud-native application is and learned about some architectures for building them. We have also learned about some best practices for building cloud-native applications and why they exist, so we can determine whether and when to apply them. This provides a good grounding for applying what you'll learn in the rest of the book to be able to be successful in building and deploying cloud-native applications.

In the next chapter, we will explore what MicroProfile is and how it can be used to build cloud-native applications.
