We're building the future of cloud-native application platforms. Since our inception, we've been working tirelessly to create a unified ecosystem for developers, providers, and users of cloud-native apps. Our mission? To simplify the installation, management, and monetization of cloud-native applications while providing a secure and user-friendly environment for all roles and cross-team sharing organizations.
The cloud-native community is the ๐ heart of CNAP and fundamental to how we build and deploy software today. We're addressing the key challenges in the cloud-native space:
- 72% of companies use multiple cloud-native application platforms, highlighting the need for flexibility but also creating management and consistency challenges.
- 65% of stakeholders report at least one direct financial benefit from cloud-native approaches, including new revenue-generating customer experiences (26%) and improved IT staff efficiency (70%).
- However, 55% cite compliance with security and governance requirements as the biggest challenge in creating or adopting a cloud-native application platform.
