The document discusses the shift towards cloud native application development. Some key points discussed include:
1. Cloud native originated in customer-facing tech companies and emphasizes building applications in, for, and maximizing the benefits of the cloud.
2. When developing new applications, organizations should focus on functional and non-functional requirements to determine the appropriate architecture, runtime environment, and degree of "cloudiness".
3. Cloud native development requires learning new topics like microservices, DevOps, serverless computing, and distributed systems.
