Thriving in the cloud: Going beyond the 12 factors
summary
Presents a concrete update: the 12 factors expand to 15 with three new emphases—API-first, telemetry, and explicit credentials/authz—and revisions like adding design to build→release→run and insisting on one code base one application. Recommends specific tools: GitHub/GitLab, Maven/Gradle, Tekton CI/CD, Docker + Kubernetes (autoscaler), MicroProfile (OpenAPI, Config, Metrics, Health, Fault Tolerance, JWT, Rest Client), Open Liberty, ELK/Fluentd, Redis, Keycloak. Following these factors produces faster, observable, resilient deployments and removes secrets-from-code and environment drift.
