The canonical repository for the updated text of the Twelve-Factor Manifesto, a methodology for building modern, cloud-native SaaS applications. It is a documentation project (CC-BY-4.0) that will ultimately replace 12factor.net.

Use cases

• learn the twelve-factor methodology for building SaaS apps
• read the updated twelve-factor manifesto
• understand best practices for cloud-native application design
• reference guidelines for deployable, scalable services
• contribute to or track revisions of the twelve-factor principles

When to choose

• you want authoritative, community-governed guidance on twelve-factor app principles
• you are designing cloud-native or SaaS applications and need a methodology reference
• you want the most current revision of the manifesto rather than the legacy 12factor.net site

When to avoid

• you need executable tooling or code rather than a written methodology
• you want a finished, frozen document — this is an actively evolving update
• you need platform-specific implementation tutorials
