  • Abstract:
  • Cloud-native architectures represent a paradigm shift in software development, enabling organizations to build scalable, resilient, and highly available applications. This transformation is driven by technologies such as microservices, containers, and Kubernetes, which provide the foundational elements for modern cloud environments. The shift towards cloud-native development is motivated by the need for agility, faster time-to-market, and the ability to handle large-scale distributed systems efficiently. Building cloud-native architectures from scratch requires a thorough understanding of various best practices and the challenges associated with them. Best practices include adopting a microservices architecture, utilizing containerization for application deployment, employing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, implementing robust monitoring and logging mechanisms, and designing for failure and resilience. These practices ensure that applications are not only scalable and efficient but also resilient to changes and failures. However, adopting cloud-native architectures is not without challenges. Organizations often face difficulties related to cultural shifts, such as moving from traditional monolithic architectures to microservices and managing the complexities introduced by distributed systems. Additionally, there are technical challenges, including handling state management, ensuring security and compliance, and dealing with the intricacies of orchestrating containers at scale. Addressing these challenges requires a combination of technological solutions, process changes, and a shift in organizational culture. This paper explores the best practices and challenges of building cloud-native architectures from scratch. It provides insights into the strategies for effectively adopting cloud-native technologies and overcoming the hurdles associated with them. By examining successful case studies and recent advancements in the field, the paper offers practical guidance for organizations embarking on the cloud-native journey. Through a comprehensive literature review, the research identifies gaps in current knowledge and suggests areas for future exploration.
