The Future of Cloud-Native Application Development with Radius
The Cloud-native landscape has revolutionized the way applications are built and deployed, but it has also introduced complexities in managing infrastructure, operations and security.
In this session, we will explore Microsoft's new Radius project, an open-source Cloud-native application platform designed to empower developers and platform engineers to collaborate on a common definition of an application and an environment. Leveraging them, teams can easily understand, deliver and manage applications that follow corporate best practices for operations and security by default. We will delve into the key features, benefits, and potential use cases of Radius, and discuss how it addresses the challenges of building and managing Cloud-native applications across multiple environments
