In this session, we will discuss the meaning of the term "cloud native" and will talk about 4 pillars of a great cloud architecture:

• Availability
• Scalability
• Security
• Automation

We will talk about cloud elasticity and why everyone from Data Engineers to Developers should care about session resiliency. We will see how different traditional application architectures are from Cloud Native architecture and how traditional data pipelines are different from Cloud Native data pipelines.
