Introducing the Cloud Native Development Landscape

Hello community.

I'm a managing director with Dell Tech Capital, and we've been working on defining a developer landscape along with a cloud native development landscape.

This matters to developers as cloud native development is on the rise. According to Gartner, IDC, and Goldman Sachs, containers are shaping into a $7 billion opportunity by 2021. 75% will be for deploying new applications enabled by containers, especially cloud native apps.

Bringing awareness to the (many) approaches for building cloud native applications and the products which are shaping this future helps us all get to that future a little quicker.

This landscape covers:
๐ŸŒŸ 200 companies
๐ŸŒŸ $2.85B in venture capital raised
๐ŸŒŸ $27B in annualized revenues
๐ŸŒŸ $100B in market capitalization
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผPart of the Developer-Led Landscape
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผWhy Building Cloud Native Apps is Hard (it's about the state!)
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผCloud Native Development is on the Rise
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผApproach 1: Reactive Architecture for Stateful Microservices and Stateful Serverless
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผApproach 2: Event-Driven Architecture and Event Streaming for Loosely-Coupled State Processing
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผApproach 3: Stateless Middleware Running on Stateful Orchestration (Horizontally Scalable Storage + Planet-Scale Database)
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผApproach 4: Jamstack, Reactive GUIs, and Headless CMS for Decoupling State, Model, and Representation to Scale Stateful Front Ends
๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸผVendor Fragmentation, Standards, and a Need for Leadership
