On Building Cloud-Native Software

Building modern cloud-native software is no longer about choosing the right infrastructure primitives. Those have largely commoditized. The real differentiator today is developer experience: the quality of abstractions, workflows, and feedback loops that let teams focus on business intent instead of cloud mechanics. The most successful cloud platforms hide complexity behind opinionated, higher-order abstractions, increasingly blending serverless, edge, and origin services into a single, cohesive development experience. In this sense, the future of the cloud is not more infrastructure — it is better interfaces to it.
