Cloud native development demands a different mindset from traditional application design. This course teaches developers to build, containerize, and deploy applications designed from the ground up for cloud scalability and resilience.
Building applications for the cloud is not the same as moving existing applications onto it. This course teaches developers to design and build cloud native applications from the ground up — using microservices, containers, and orchestration to achieve the scalability and resilience the cloud makes possible.
Participants build and deploy a working application throughout the course, containerizing services, configuring orchestration, and applying twelve-factor principles that make applications genuinely cloud native.
Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from development initiatives, donor-funded programmes, nonprofit operations, and public sector environments, examining how cloud native application development is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for configuration and secrets management, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

This training course adopts a practical, participant-centered learning approach that builds cloud native application development expertise, strengthens analytical capability and develops confident professional judgement. The methodology combines specialist facilitation, applied hands-on experience and globally recognized professional practice, so that delegates return able to apply what they have learned immediately rather than in theory only.
Methodology includes:
Day 1: The Cloud Native Mindset and Twelve-Factor Principles
Day 2: Containerising Applications with Docker
Day 3: Local Development and Multi-Container Workflows
Day 4: Microservice Design and Service Boundaries
Day 5: Service Communication Contracts and Resilience Patterns
Day 6: Orchestrating Containerised Applications
Day 7: Configuration and Secrets Management
Day 8: Health Checks, Logging, and Observability
Day 9: CI/CD Pipelines for Cloud Native Delivery
Day 10: Applied Cloud Native Build and Review
Cloud Native Application Development Training addresses software engineers and technical staff who write and ship application code and now need that code to run reliably on container platforms rather than fixed servers.
On finishing all ten days, participants receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, recognising demonstrated ability to design twelve-factor applications, containerise and orchestrate services, and deliver them through cloud native CI/CD pipelines with configuration, secrets and observability handled correctly.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the Cloud Native Application Development Training programme, you'll be able to apply twelve-factor app principles to application design, containerize applications using docker best practices, design microservices with clear boundaries and communication contracts, and deploy and manage containerized applications using orchestration tools. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
Cloud Native Application Development Training addresses software engineers and technical staff who write and ship application code and now need that code to run reliably on container platforms rather than fixed servers. Typical delegates include Application Developers and Software Engineers moving workloads to containers, Backend and API Developers designing microservices, Platform Engineers supporting container orchestration environments, DevOps Engineers building delivery pipelines for containerised services, Solution Architects defining microservice boundaries and integration contracts, Site Reliability Engineers responsible for observability and health of distributed applications, and Technical Leads guiding teams through monolith-to-microservice refactoring.
