Description:

In 2012, early cloud pioneer Heroku developed the Twelve-Factor App, a set of rules and guidelines for helping organizations build cloud-native applications. But cloud native is more than just a set of checkboxes or factors to tick off; it's a mindset and a way of life for developers building modern, highly scalable, resilient applications. The industry is full of buzzwords like "cloud native" and "microservices." Kevin Hoffman distills these terms into concrete definitions as he covers his 15 expanded and revised factors, which he explores in more detail in his book Beyond the Twelve-Factor App. Along the way, Kevin discusses the developer mindset that has allowed him to create applications and services that thrive in the cloud.
