Cloud Native Updates

Background

Previously we described this blog’s Serverless API Coding Model. This completes a cloud version 1 architecture, where the SPA is deployed to a Content Delivery Network, and the API side of the architecture runs without needing to manage any infrastructure.

Cloud Native

Cloud native platforms such as Kubernetes provide an alternative for the API side of the architecture, with richer options for both deployed systems and the type of solution that can be run on a development computer. I think of this as a cloud version 2 architecture.

Future Updates

In future I will enable developers to run this blog’s code samples using cloud native supporting components, which will further improve the developer experience. This will not affect the OAuth designs I have used, so no code in either APIs or user facing apps will need to change.
