To help contributors build high performing, reliable, and secure solutions, we should offer a set of principles to make the way these goals are reached uniform and easy to understand.

To get the most impact, these principles should align with the hard earned global experiences from the last decade of releasing cloud native solutions.

These are commonly accepted to be summarized in first the "12 factor app" principles.

As a result of continous improvement three additional factors have been added, resulting in 15 factors.
