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.

Replicating the data lake for disaster recovery

When I first read this story about Code Spaces (https://www.infoworld.com/article/2608076/data-center/murder-in-the-amazon-cloud.html), I was a bit horrified until I realized that this company perished so that we could all learn from its experience. Code Spaces was a company that used AWS and their account was hijacked and held to ransom. They fought back and the entire contents of their account were deleted, including their backups, and they simply went out of business. Proper use of MFA and proper access key hygiene is critical to ward off such attacks. It is also crucial to maintain backups as an entirely separate and disconnected account, so that the breach of a single account does not spell disaster for an entire system and company. In this recipe, we will use the S3 replication feature to replicate buckets to a dedicated recovery...
