BUILDING SCALABLE CLOUD-NATIVE APPLICATIONS WITH SPRING BOOT AND KUBERNETES

This comprehensive article explores the evolution and implementation of cloud-native applications, focusing on their transformative impact on modern software development. The article examines key statistics showing 147% growth in cloud-native adoption between 2019-2021, with 6.5 million developers worldwide embracing these technologies. Through a detailed examination of microservices architecture, Spring Boot framework, and Kubernetes orchestration, the analysis reveals significant improvements, including 50% faster deployment frequencies, 70% reduction in failure rates, and 99.99% system availability. The Market Events Processor project case study demonstrates practical implementation, achieving 84% optimization in resource utilization through Spring Boot and Kubernetes integration while maintaining sub-100ms latency under normal operations and handling 2,500 concurrent requests per pod.
