Cloud Native Python

By: Manish Sethi

Overview of this book

Businesses today are evolving so rapidly that having their own infrastructure to support their expansion is not feasible. As a result, they have been resorting to the elasticity of the cloud to provide a platform to build and deploy their highly scalable applications. This book will be the one stop for you to learn all about building cloud-native architectures in Python. It will begin by introducing you to cloud-native architecture and will help break it down for you. Then you’ll learn how to build microservices in Python using REST APIs in an event driven approach and you will build the web layer. Next, you’ll learn about Interacting data services and building Web views with React, after which we will take a detailed look at application security and performance. Then, you’ll also learn how to Dockerize your services. And finally, you’ll learn how to deploy the application on the AWS and Azure platforms. We will end the book by discussing some concepts and techniques around troubleshooting problems that might occur with your applications after you’ve deployed them. This book will teach you how to craft applications that are built as small standard units, using all the proven best practices and avoiding the usual traps. It's a practical book: we're going to build everything using Python 3 and its amazing tooling ecosystem. The book will take you on a journey, the destination of which, is the creation of a complete Python application based on microservices over the cloud platform

Building application infrastructure on AWS

At this stage of our application, the system architect or a DevOps guy comes into the picture, and suggests different infrastructure plans which are secure and efficient enough to handle application requests, and are cost effective as well.

As far as our application is concerned, we will build its infrastructure the same as shown in the following image:

We will follow the preceding architecture diagram for our application, which includes a few of AWS services such as EC2, VPC, Route 53, and so on.

There are three different ways by which you can provision your resources on the AWS cloud, which are as follows:

  • Management console: This is the user interface which we have already logged into, and can be used to launch resources on the cloud. (Check this link for your reference: https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/)
  • Programmatically:...
