Cloud-Native Development with Red Hat Runtimes

Modern cloud-native development requires a robust set of tools and frameworks to build scalable, resilient, and efficient applications. This course introduces you to the core components of Red Hat Runtimes, giving you the foundational knowledge needed to select and apply the right technologies for your development projects. You will understand how these integrated tools simplify the lifecycle of enterprise microservices and cloud-native architectures. By completing this text-only guide, you will transition from understanding basic application design to confidently structuring enterprise-ready services. You will learn how various runtimes fit together, how to manage data persistence, and how to prepare your applications for modern containerized environments. What you'll learn: - Understand the core architecture of Red Hat Runtimes and their role in cloud-native systems - Compare and select appropriate frameworks like Quarkus, Spring Boot, and WildFly for different use cases - Configure lightweight, reactive microservices optimized for container deployments - Implement basic data persistence and caching strategies using integrated middleware tools - Apply modern security standards and authentication flows to protect your services - Explore containerization basics and deployment workflows for cloud environments This course begins with essential terminology, architectural principles, and foundational concepts before moving into practical configuration patterns and framework comparisons. You will read through clear explanations, conceptual breakdowns, and structured code examples that illustrate real-world deployment scenarios. This course is designed for beginner backend developers, software architects, and system administrators who want to learn cloud-native development. No prior experience with Red Hat tools is required, though a basic understanding of programming concepts is helpful.
