Objective
Building on the Edge Native Application Principles white paper, developed by the IoT Edge Working Group (originally published January 17, 2023), this supplemental paper shows how these principles can be translated into practice by recommending design behaviors for developing applications for edge environments.

Edge native application design builds on cloud native application design (see e.g., “Architecting Applications for Kubernetes'' or “Twelve-Factor App methodology”). However, several qualities of the edge and the cloud differ. Consequently, edge native application design includes several cloud native design principles and expands them accordingly. The paper was developed by the IoT Edge Working Group and may be expanded and / or edited in the future.
