Architecting Cloud Native Applications

By: Kamal Arora, Erik Farr, John Gilbert, Piyum Zonooz

Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices by John Gilbert • Cloud Native Architectures by Erik Farr et al.

Event orchestration


Leverage a mediator component to orchestrate collaboration between components without event type coupling.

Context, problem, and forces

You are building a reactive, cloud-native system that is composed of bounded isolated components. You are employing the Cloud Native Databases Per Component and Event Streaming patterns as well as the Event Sourcing and CQRS patterns to ensure that you have the proper bulkheads in place to make your components responsive, resilient, and elastic. This has increased the confidence of teams to deliver innovation and the system is growing rapidly. You have been successfully using raw Event Collaboration to choreograph the long-running behaviors of the system, but with the increasing complexity of the system, you are starting to outgrow this approach.

Event-driven architecture has the benefit of decoupling specific event producers from specific consumers. Producers emit events with no knowledge of what components will consume the events and consumers...
