Understand cloud-native development and modern delivery practices across DevOps culture, CI/CD pipelines, Agile methods, and NoSQL databases. See how these elements work together to build, modernize, and deploy scalable applications.
Cloud-native development has become a core approach for building modern, scalable, and resilient applications. This course introduces learners to the processes, methodologies, and technologies used throughout the cloud-native application development lifecycle, from development to deployment and modernization.
You will explore key concepts such as DevOps culture, continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), Agile and Scrum practices, and the role of NoSQL databases in cloud environments. The course explains how DevOps practices such as test-driven and behavior-driven development help improve collaboration, code quality, and delivery speed across teams. You will also learn how Agile methods and user stories support iterative development and continuous improvement.
In addition, the course provides hands-on exposure to NoSQL databases using MongoDB and introduces IBM Cloudant, highlighting real-world use cases and deployment scenarios. Through a final project, you will apply your learning by enhancing, deploying, and redeploying a cloud-native application using CI/CD practices, creating a strong portfolio artifact.
