- Individual pieces of business capabilities (bounded contexts/domains) that are loosly coupled, single responsible, self contained, scalable, resilient, independently developed, deployed, and managed.
- All business capability is exposed through an API, a well-defined set of contracts that allows two or more systems to interact.
- The concept of building and running services to take advantage of the distributed cloud computing.
- Cloud native services are designed and built to exploit the scalability, elasticity, agility, reliability, resiliency, and flexibility the cloud provides.
- Front-end presentation is decoupled from back-end logic and channel, programming language, and is framework agnostic.
- Enhances omnichannel/unifiedchannel experiences.
