Dive deep into the practices of cloud-native application development, leveraging CNCF tools to build scalable, resilient, and efficient distributed systems. This session covers advanced architectural patterns like microservices, service meshes, and event-driven designs, with insights into optimizing workflows using Kubernetes, Helm, Argo CD, and OpenTelemetry. Explore container runtimes such as containerd, cri-o, and emerging technologies like gVisor, Firecracker, and Kata Containers, understanding their trade-offs for security and workload isolation. Learn strategies for testing with Litmus, achieving full-stack observability with Prometheus and Grafana, and future trends in serverless, AI-driven developer tools, and edge computing. Equip yourself to navigate complexity, maximize productivity, and drive cloud-native innovation.
