The edge of the cloud is likely the single most underrated layer of cloud-native systems. However, as I have previously mentioned, my first cloud-native wow moment was when I realized I could run a single-page application (SPA) presentation layer from the edge without the complexity, risk, and cost of running an elastic load balancer and multiple EC2 instances. Furthermore, leveraging the edge brings global scale to certain aspects of cloud-native systems without expending additional effort on multi-regional deployments. Our end users enjoy reduced latency, while we reduce the load on the internals of our system, reduce cost, and increase security. The recipes in this chapter cover a multitude of ways we can leverage the edge of the cloud to advance the quality of our cloud-native system, with minimum effort.

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.
