By 2023, over 500 million digital apps and services will be developed and deployed using cloud-native approaches. For software engineering teams, this demand means not only delivering new features faster but ensuring quality, performance, and scalability too. Performance-as-a-self-service .

Distributed tracing is a method of observing requests as they propagate through distributed cloud environments. As legacy monolithic applications give way to more nimble and portable services, the tools once used to monitor their performance are unable to serve the complex cloud-native architectures that now host them.

Change starts by thoroughly evaluating whether the current architecture, tools, and processes for configuration, infrastructure, code delivery pipelines, testing, and monitoring enable improved customer experience faster and with high quality or not. Rethinking the process means digital transformation.

Testing for mishaps you can predict is essential. But with the complexity that comes with digital transformation and cloud-native architecture, teams need a way to make sure applications can withstand the “chaos” of production. But the cloud brought new complexities, such as increasing connections and dependencies.

Very often, I heard that chaos engineering is only a technique used by larger companies (like Netflix) or in cloud native environments. You want to know if chaos engineering is only usable in cloud native environments. With the rise of cloud and container technologies, companies developed a lot of microservices. Dynatrace news.

As software development environments adopt more cloud-native technologies, microservices, and container-based architecture, delivering software manually becomes increasingly impractical. With CD, DevOps engineers write configuration and create custom tests and quality checks that become part of each stage in an automated pipeline.

The type of applications that are being tested has changed as well, from (now) legacy client server-based applications to microservice-based or cloud-based architectures. This changes how teams test for quality. As technology advancement continues, we’ll see newer, more nuanced types of testing.

Still, after all these years, keeping progressive enhancement as the guiding principle of your front-end architecture and deployment is a safe bet. You could examine your framework candidates and the proposed architecture, and study how most solutions out there perform, e.g. with server-side rendering or client-side rendering, on average.
