Cloud vs. Cloud-Native: Understanding the Cloud-Native Paradigm Shift
Cloud-native computing extends beyond simply hosting applications in the cloud by transforming how organizations design, deploy, manage, and scale software across dynamic technology environments. Technologies such as containers and Kubernetes support this shift, but successful cloud-native strategies also require automation, resilient architectures, continuous delivery, and modern development practices. OutSystems software helped enterprises simplify this transition through a low-code platform that abstracts infrastructure complexity while supporting scalable, cloud-native application development. Its integrated development, deployment, security, and lifecycle capabilities allow teams to modernize applications without manually managing numerous underlying technologies. By accelerating deli
