We are excited to introduce the newly formed Application Development Working Group (WG) under the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for App Delivery within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Co-chaired by Mauricio Salatino, Daniel Oh, and Thomas Vitale, this WG aims to foster the growth of developers in the cloud native space. The Application Development WG was established to address the increasing need for specialized focus on cloud native application development. Our mission is to engage and support developers transitioning to or enhancing their practices within the cloud native ecosystem. This initiative is integral to the CNCF’s broader strategy of promoting cloud native technologies and fostering a vibrant, collaborative community.
