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.

Docker compose configuration pattern

We are increasingly hearing, reading, and even experiencing multi-container applications. That is, composite applications are being achieved through multi-container composition. The composition technique acquires special significance because of two key trends. Firstly, the powerful concept of microservices is gradually changing the IT industry. That is, large monolithic services are slowly giving way to swarms of small and autonomous microservices. Different and distributed microservices are being found, checked and chained together to create and run business-class, production-ready, process-aware, mission-critical, enterprise-grade, composite applications. The second is that the Docker-enabled containerization changes not only the architecture of services but also the structure of environments used to create them. Now, software gets methodically...
