Cloud-native explained: How to build a thriving career in it

Cloud-native development is one of the most disruptive and emerging trends in the recent history of the technology that focuses on a cloud-first ‘architectural design thinking’. For instance, space missions produce enormous datasets that must be processed and shared globally, whereas online games must have low-latency infrastructure to support uninterrupted, delightful real-time multiplayer experiences. To return humans back to the Moon, NASA's Artemis III program relies on cloud-native systems to analyze mission-critical data, speeding up decision-making in identifying landing sites, and improving collaborations among researchers. Leading these developments is Kunal Lanjewar, a globally recognized expert in crafting highly adaptive and performant cloud-native systems whose work has shaped both space exploration and online gaming. By using cloud-native architecture, he has enabled developers to create new industry benchmarks for real-time multiplayer and competitive gaming by improving game responsiveness, dependability, and scalability.
