Cloud-native applications demand scalability, observability, and efficiency. While Java has long held its ground, .NET’s modern updates have made it a front-runner for building distributed systems in the cloud.
.NET's integration with Azure, native support for Docker and Kubernetes, and built-in telemetry tools simplify the development of microservices and serverless apps. You also get clean DevOps support out of the box.
Java still performs well, but many teams find that .NET’s leaner setup and first-class cloud tooling cut down on complexity and speed up delivery.
If you're already investing in cloud-native infrastructure or planning a migration, .NET offers a more unified and modern approach—backed by Microsoft’s long-term support and evolving roadmap.
