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.

Summary

Both legacy and modern applications are remedied to be a collection of interactive microservices. Microservices can be hosted and run inside containers. There can be multiple instances for each microservice. Each container can run a microservice instance. Thus, in a typical IT environment, there can be hundreds of physical machines (also called bare metal servers). Each physical machine, in turn, is capable of running hundreds of containers. Thus, there will be tens of thousands of containers. The management and operational complexities are therefore bound to escalate. This pattern comes handy in successfully running microservice-hosted containers. There are technologies, such as Istio and Linkerd, for ensuring the resiliency of microservices. This resiliency ultimately ensures the application's reliability. Together with software-defined cloud infrastructures, reliable...
