Between the 1940s and the 1950s, the term “software” and its understanding thereof was largely reserved for a small group of highly specialized academics. It was a field of study and practice with very limited application. At that time it largely served mathematical purposes and required a great deal of technical aptitude. The field was in its infancy and many wondered what the real-world application of software could look like.

The winds of change are whipping through the IT landscape, and they’re carrying a powerful force: cloud native technologies.
