A modern application is the combination of modern technologies, architectures, software delivery practices, and operational processes that lead teams to deliver value more quickly, frequently, consistently, and safely. These applications typically take advantage of loosely coupled, distributed technologies and focus on event-driven, serverless components that allow teams to offload undifferentiated heavy lifting in order to spend more time on delivering value for their customers. A modern application also takes advantage of operational and security tooling to increase the reliability and consistency of deployments, while making it safe to deploy many times a day. The use of automation of infrastructure, security, and deployments allows the teams that own modern applications to move more quickly than if they were relying on manual processes or more significant operational management.
简单概述就是，现代化应用是现代技术、体系结构、软件交付实践和操作流程的组合，可以引导团队更快、更频繁、更一致、更安全地交付价值，像 Serverless 以及事件驱动的架构这些都输于现代化应用的范畴。
