Fast
Short design and development iterations get working software in the hands of the end-users quickly. Cloud infrastructure automation and code pipelines speed up deployment.

Flexible
Code Refactoring, self-testing code, and continuous integration (CI) make it easy to change or introduce new features. Test-Driven Development protects against code breakage and ensures a glitch-free user experience.

Reliable
Application functionality is packaged in shared-nothing independent microservices that can be replicated almost instantly to provide redundancy in case of infrastructure failure or outages.
![](/assets/img/scalable.png)
Scalable
Microservices can be programmatically scaled depending on the workload to manage demand spikes. This feature helps keep applications performant as well as save cloud costs.

Secure
Multi-layer security, Cloud-native 4Cs (Cloud, Cluster, Container, Code) approach based on “defense in depth” IT security model mitigates threats and vulnerabilities.

Cost-Effective
Relatively smaller teams can design-build and manage large applications. Open-source technologies help to save substantial licensing costs.
