Cloud Native Application Development

What Is Cloud Native Application Development

Cloud native development refers to the practice of building applications that are designed to run in cloud environments from day one. Rather than retrofitting traditional software for the cloud, cloud native applications are constructed using modular microservices, deployed in containers, and orchestrated through platforms like Kubernetes. These systems interact via APIs and are often supported by serverless functions for event-driven execution.
‍
The core benefit of developing cloud native applications with microservices architectures lies in their flexibility. You can scale individual components independently, deploy updates more frequently and isolate faults without bringing down the entire system. From improved fault tolerance to cost-effective elasticity, cloud native software development transforms how digital platforms evolve and operate.

Our Approach at D55
We build cloud native applications from the ground up, aligning every decision with your business objectives. Our engineers work with modern technologies including containerised services, Kubernetes clusters and serverless functions, ensuring every system is designed for long-term performance and resilience. Where appropriate, we adopt a low code approach to accelerate delivery without compromising flexibility.
Through continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, we streamline deployment and ensure changes are rigorously tested before reaching production. Our Agile methodology supports iterative progress and fast adaptation, while our DevOps culture ensures infrastructure and development are seamlessly integrated.

D55 enabled us to migrate from on-premise to a cloud-based solution, resulting in monthly cost savings of about 40%. Cloud-based systems give us a high level of resiliency and an unlimited capacity to scale. We’ve really put in place the foundations for later phases of work and further cost reduction as we scale. It was a partnership as opposed to a service - we work well together.
