Overview of this book

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is typically an aggregate of the business, application, data, and infrastructure architectures of any forward-looking enterprise. Due to constant changes and rising complexities in the business and technology landscapes, producing sophisticated architectures is on the rise. Architectural patterns are gaining a lot of attention these days. The book is divided in three modules. You'll learn about the patterns associated with object-oriented, component-based, client-server, and cloud architectures. The second module covers Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) patterns and how they are architected using various tools and patterns. You will come across patterns for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), Resource-Oriented Architecture (ROA), big data analytics architecture, and Microservices Architecture (MSA). The final module talks about advanced topics such as Docker containers, high performance, and reliable application architectures. The key takeaways include understanding what architectures are, why they're used, and how and where architecture, design, and integration patterns are being leveraged to build better and bigger systems.

Containerized applications - Autopilot pattern

Deploying containerized applications and connecting them together is a definite challenge because typically, cloud-native applications are made up of hundreds of microservices. Microservice architectures provide organizations with a tool to manage the burgeoning complexity of the development process, and application containers provide a new means to manage the dependencies to accelerate the deployment of those microservices. But deploying and connecting those services together is still a challenge.

Operationalizing microservices-based applications brings forth several challenges. Developers have to embed several things inside for simplified deployment and delivery. Autopilot applications are a powerful design pattern for solving these problems. The autopilot pattern automates in the code the repetitive and boring operational tasks...
