Melbourne Cloud Native Development Summit 2025
Transform your app development and join top developers and tech leaders for hands-on sessions and expert insights on cloud-native technologies, from microservices to Kubernetes.
Join us at the Cloud-Native Development Summit to revolutionise your application development.
In October, we're bringing together developers, engineers, and technology leaders to explore how cloud-native technologies are transforming the way we build applications.
Discover best practices for microservices architecture, deploying and scaling applications with Kubernetes, and implementing continuous integration and delivery. Learn about service mesh security, serverless computing, and cloud observability and monitoring. Engage in interactive sessions, real-world case studies, panel discussions, and debates to stay ahead of emerging trends in cloud-native development.
Key Themes:
- How Cloud-Native is Transforming Application Development
- Microservices Architecture
- Deploying and Scaling Applications with Kubernetes
- Implementing Continuous Integration and Delivery
- Service Mesh Security
- Serverless Computing
- Cloud Observability and Monitoring
- Monolith vs. Microservices: What Works Best
Who Should Attend?
Developers, engineers, architects, DevOps professionals, and anyone eager to enhance their understanding of cloud-native development and network with industry peers.
Don't miss this chance for a day of learning, innovation, and collaboration.

Agenda
This session will explore how it’s building a scalable, secure, and developer-friendly environment while navigating the realities of legacy systems, regulatory demands, and the need for speed. This session will set the stage for the day’s focus on pragmatic cloud-native adoption, platform thinking, and engineering leadership at scale.
- How to design a flexible enterprise architecture powered by cloud-native principles
- The role of internal platforms, developer enablement, and service ownership in scaling adoption
- Lessons learned in balancing innovation, governance, and resilience across critical systems
Cloud-native development is reshaping how engineering teams build, scale, and operate modern platforms. This panel explores how engineering leaders are making smart tooling decisions, refining architecture, and enabling teams to deliver securely and efficiently.
- Balancing rapid delivery with long-term cloud-native stability and scalability
- Choosing and integrating the right tools across Kubernetes, service meshes, and developer platforms
- Empowering teams to own cost, performance, and reliability in distributed systems
- Evolving the role of engineering leadership in a platform-first, developer-enabled world
An interactive session where attendees participate in deploying a cloud-native application using Kubernetes, focusing on best practices for scaling and management.
A case study on setting up efficient CI/CD pipelines to streamline cloud-native application development and deployment.
Practical insights into using service mesh technologies to secure communication between microservices and improve observability.
As organisations adopt cloud-native architectures, platform engineering is becoming essential to developer velocity, system reliability, and cost control. This panel explores how internal platforms are evolving to support modern development, reduce complexity, and embed best practices into everyday workflows.
- What makes an internal developer platform effective for cloud-native teams?
- How do you build self-service capabilities that accelerate delivery without compromising quality?
- How can platform teams strike the right balance between developer freedom and standardised governance?
- How are teams applying FinOps principles to help developers manage cloud resources more responsibly?
Delegates will chose from a list of pertinent peer-to-peer discussion topics focussing on evolving and emerging trends, techniques and technologies
Insights into the importance of observability, and how to implement effective monitoring strategies in cloud-native environments.
A lively debate on the merits and drawbacks of monolithic and microservices architectures in today's development landscape.
