Twelve-Factor application pattern with Spring Framework

The document discusses the twelve-factor application pattern for developing cloud-native applications and how the Spring Framework supports this methodology. It covers the twelve factors which include having a single codebase, explicit and isolated dependencies, storing configuration in the environment, treating backing services as attached resources, separating build and run stages, making applications stateless, binding to ports, scaling out via the process model, maximizing robustness through fast startup and graceful shutdown, keeping development, staging and production environments the same, treating logs as event streams, and running admin/management tasks as one-off processes. The Spring Framework provides features that help implement many of these twelve factors for building cloud-native applications.
