In fact, the team at Docker introduced what is the current industry standard for containers. If you dont know what is a Container, Containers are a standardized unit of software that allows developers to isolate their app from its environment, solving the “it works on my PC” headache.

2. Kubernetes

Speaking of containers, there is Kubernetes, also widely known as K8s, Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes is a community supported technology, combines best ideas and practices from the community. to the foundation of 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google.

3. React Native

React Native is another open-source mobile application framework which is originally created by Facebook, Inc. React Native combines the best parts of native development with React, a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

React native is used to develop applications for Android, Android TV, iOS, macOS, tvOS, Web, Windows and UWP by enabling developers to use React's framework along with native platform capabilities.

4. Kafka

GCP is so powerful that it runs on the same infrastructure that Google uses internally for its end-user products, such as Google Search, Gmail, file storage, and YouTube. To learn and develop, a handful of GCP service are free.

8. Typescript

TypeScript is a programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft. In simple technical words, TypeScript is a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript. TypeScript extends JavaScript by adding types. By understanding your code, TypeScript saves you time catching errors and providing fixes before you run code. Above all, typescript is completely open source.
