Cloud-native
Cloud-native refers to applications that are built and hosted in the cloud. These applications are designed to take full advantage of cloud computing frameworks, which offer benefits like scalability, resilience, and flexibility.
This of it like this: Instead of constructing a house on a fixed piece of land (like a traditional computer server), you're building it on a cloud that can move and change shape (like the internet).
This cloud-native house can grow bigger when you have more guests (scalability), it can stay afloat even if part of it gets damaged (resilience), and it can change its layout to suit your needs (flexibility).
In the world of e-commerce, having a cloud-native application means your online store can serve more customers when it gets busy, stay up and running even if there's a problem, and adapt quickly as your business grows and changes.
Cloud-native systems are having a super adaptable, always available, and ever-expanding online store.
