JavaScript Cloud Native Development Cookbook

By: John Gilbert

Overview of this book

Cloud-native development is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverages the merits of the cloud computing model. With cloud-native development, teams can deliver faster and in a more lean and agile manner as compared to traditional approaches. This recipe-based guide provides quick solutions for your cloud-native applications. Beginning with a brief introduction, JavaScript Cloud-Native Development Cookbook guides you in building and deploying serverless, event-driven, cloud-native microservices on AWS with Node.js. You'll then move on to the fundamental patterns of developing autonomous cloud-native services and understand the tools and techniques involved in creating globally scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud-native applications. The book also covers multi-regional deployments and leveraging the edge of the cloud to maximize responsiveness, resilience, and elasticity. In the latter chapters you'll explore techniques for building fully automated, continuous deployment pipelines and gain insights into polyglot cloud-native development on popular cloud platforms such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By the end of the book, you'll be able to apply these skills to build powerful cloud-native solutions.

Introduction

Security in the cloud is based on the shared responsibility model. Below a certain line in the stack is the responsibility of the cloud provider and above that line is the responsibility of the cloud consumer. Cloud-native and serverless computing push that line higher and higher. This allows teams to focus their efforts on what they know best—their business domains. With the security mechanisms provided by the cloud, teams can practice security-by-design and concentrate on defense-in-depth techniques to secure their data. In each recipe, so far, we have seen how serverless computing requires us to define security policies between components at each layer in the stack. The recipes in this chapter will cover securing our cloud accounts, securing our applications with OAuth 2.0/Open ID Connect, securing our data at rest, and creating a perimeter around our cloud...
