This study has several goals:
- Understand how businesses are approaching cloud native application orchestration.
- Investigate how teams are solving complex issues at different layers of the application stack.
- Explore microservices-based, containerized application environments, including benefits and challenges.
- Gain insight into the impact of developer velocity.
