12factor represents for us the key method to take on the modernization of an application. As the name suggests, it consists of 12 operational principles to successfully accomplish the development of a modern application. They touch topics that can be divided into four areas.
Containers and their orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes) represent the most important step towards a modern application.
To make full use of the new infrastructure's advantages, a critical factor is the adoption of DevOps practices and the strict use of Agile methods.
Micro services are an architectural style that manages the developing of a single application like a suite of modular and independent services.
Using modular and self-contained services allows us to base the communication processes on APIs that are lightweight and technologically agnostic.
Redesign your application on updated platforms and programming languages, that are more efficient and less expensive. Modernizing an application means to take a path that leads to adopting the cloud-native approach, benefitting from the great advantages that comes with it: Scalability, resilience and flexibility.
The complexity of software systems is today faced using architectures based on microservices. Either incrementally reconstructing an already running monolith or developing ex novo applications, the role of microservices is central to obtain high maintainability, security, scalability and efficiency of modern architecture.
The arrival of Cloud technology made it possible to implement infrastructural paradigms before confined inside the applications. It is now possible to focus solely on the business value of an application, without taking charge of the operational costs of managing an infrastructure and sensibly reducing the applicative complexity.
Move to the cloud and transform your products to improve the reliability, availability, and scalability of your apps. Cynnent cloud experts will help you audit your application and choose the best approach for cloud migration so that you can unlock the power of cloud-native application development.
Rely on our infrastructure architects in Infrastructure Setup, Continuous Integration & Delivery, Monitoring, Logging, and Alerting. We will help you speed up time-to-market and optimize resource usage to save your costs on cloud-native application development.
