Client-server applications have always been popular. However, as networking technology and design patterns have evolved, the need to have less tightly coupled applications intercommunicating has given way to service-oriented architectures (SOAs). An SOA is the concept of breaking down the components that make up a monolith or server into more discrete business services. SOA components are still self-contained. However, they are significantly smaller in scope than the traditional monolithic application and enable faster maintenance and decoupled interactions. The traditional client could still be considered a component of an SOA application, but, instead of communicating directly with a monolithic server, there would be an intermediation layer, or server bus, that accepts the call and distributes to other services for processing. These other services could offer data persistence or collect additional information to make a business...

Overview of this book
Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. To harness this, businesses need to refresh their development models and architectures when they find they don’t port to the cloud. Cloud Native Architectures demonstrates three essential components of deploying modern cloud native architectures: organizational transformation, deployment modernization, and cloud native architecture patterns.
This book starts with a quick introduction to cloud native architectures that are used as a base to define and explain what cloud native architecture is and is not. You will learn what a cloud adoption framework looks like and develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as design principles. You’ll then explore the major pillars of cloud native design including scalability, cost optimization, security, and ways to achieve operational excellence. In the concluding chapters, you will also learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform.
By the end of this book, you will have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. You will also understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers.
