Lightning Talk: Principles of Portability for Multi-Cloud Applications
Lightningat AppDeveloperCon Europe 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-03-19· at 10:40· Pavilion 7 | Level 7.3 | Room S04·
summary
Recommendations for making apps runnable across clouds focus on concrete choices not vague patterns. Pick containers with OCI spec or Kubernetes for compute portability, use OpenTelemetry for observability, and prefer protocol standards like Kafka or CloudEvents for messaging. Use Dapr or sidecars/service mesh (Envoy) to abstract discovery, security and resiliency. For data, use Postgres-compatible stores, S3 API compatible object stores, and Debezium/outbox for CDC. Note there is no broadly adopted portable workflow engine yet.
