What is a Cloud-Native Application Example?
A classic example of a cloud-native application is Netflix. The platform is built using a microservices architecture, deployed in containers, and runs on cloud infrastructure. This allows Netflix to scale rapidly, roll out updates seamlessly, and maintain high availability for millions of users worldwide.
In a business context, cloud-native apps can include:
- Customer portals
- Inventory management platforms
- Smart CRM solutions
- ERP dashboards
Singleclic develops custom cloud-native solutions tailored to your business needs, whether you’re in retail, logistics, healthcare, or government.
What is a Cloud-Native Platform?
A cloud-native platform is a foundation that supports the design, development, deployment, and management of cloud-native applications. Key components include:
- Containerization (e.g., Docker)
- Orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes)
- DevOps practices
- Serverless computing
- Scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
At Singleclic, we leverage low-code and DevOps automation to rapidly build, test, and deploy apps that are resilient and cost-effective.
What is an Example of a Cloud Application?
A cloud application is any software hosted in the cloud and accessible via the internet. Some examples include:
- Google Workspace
- Microsoft 365
- Salesforce
- Dropbox
However, cloud-native apps go further by being:
- Microservices-based
- Continuously integrated and deployed
- Built for cloud scalability from the ground up
What is the Difference Between Cloud and Cloud-Native?
| Feature | Cloud Application | Cloud-Native Application |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Often monolithic | Microservices-based |
| Deployment | Can be lifted-and-shifted | Cloud-optimized |
| Scalability | Limited | High scalability |
| Resilience | Moderate | Built-in fault tolerance |
While cloud applications may simply be hosted on the cloud, cloud-native apps are built for the cloud, optimized for speed, elasticity, and automation.
