What is this cloud native thing anyway?
summary
Fast, specific definition: cloud native means applications that are container-packaged, dynamically managed and designed for platform-driven scaling and automation. Examples and trade-offs: AWS launched SQS in 2006; Lambda and Fargate hide containers; Kubernetes is the portability abstraction many target; BigQuery/Redshift and BigTable/DynamoDB each force rewrites and high migration cost. Migration cost, not abstract “lock‑in,” decides choices — a clear pay now or pay later tradeoff for platform features.
