Native cloud applications
The way in which applications are designed has changed dramatically, with flexible infrastructure and the vast range of tools available in public clouds. Native cloud applications use this resource ecosystem to build flexible solutions and respond to business pressure.

The cloud blurs the lines between software and infrastructure, providing applications with flexibility
The cloud concept has gone beyond the initial infrastructure and platform as a service concept (IaaS and PaaS, respectively) to become one in which companies can manage these tools immediately and flexibly, thanks to their dilution through programming.
This has allowed for the design of a new generation of applications with strong technical requirements (flexible scalability, incorporation of new technologies, real-time response, observability) and business requirements (fast turnaround times, easy pivoting).
Native cloud applications exploit these capabilities and enable us to design solutions quickly and sustainably with microservice-oriented architectures and using the specialisation of each PaaS tool.
We can design applications with two different strategies:
- Cloud-dependent. These solutions take advantage of the manufacturer’s specific tools, which initially give us a lot of speed but generate strong dependence on these parts, which are often non-standard.
- Cloud-independent. These solutions are mainly based on open source software, which gives us flexibility and independence and the possibility to build multi-cloud and hybrid solutions.
The flexibility provided by the cloud requires specialisation
The development of native cloud applications means that they can be built as an ecosystem of functional components (microservices) that interact to solve tasks. This design model means that each component has an independent lifecycle, meets demand, and facilitates maintenance. However, the price of this flexibility involves greater efforts in controlling and governing architecture.
A governance model is also necessary that enables us to uphold the principles of agility and controlled speed, maintain accurate cost accounting in terms of the application and area, and keep the integration and deployment chain lubricated, which implies thorough knowledge of clouds.
Modern solutions existing alongside core systems
We specialise in the design of new native cloud solutions that are capable of coexisting with the legacy that provides companies with the stability and consistency of the business.
The situation of businesses requires the development of mixed solutions.
