Spring Cloud makes it easy to add Cloud-Native features to your microservices. In this chapter, we looked at some of the important patterns in developing Cloud-Native applications and implemented them using various Spring Cloud projects.

It is important to remember that the field of developing Cloud-Native applications is still in its inception phase--in its first few years. It would need more time to mature. Expect some evolution in patterns and frameworks in the years to come.

In the next chapter, we will shift our attention to Spring Data Flow. Typical use cases on the cloud include real-time data analytics and data pipelines. These use cases involve the flow of data between multiple microservices. Spring Data Flow provides patterns and best practices for distributed streaming and data pipelines.
