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.

Creating the CI/CD pipeline

Small batch sizes reduce deployment risk because it is much easier to reason about their correctness and much easier to correct them when they are in error. Task branch workflow is a Git workflow that is focused on extremely short-lived branches, in the range of just hours rather than days. It is similar to an issue branch workflow, in that each task is tracked as an issue in the project management tool. The length of an issue is ambiguous, however, because an issue can be used to track an entire feature. This recipe demonstrates how issue tracking, Git branches, pull requests, testing, code review, and the CI/CD pipeline work together in a task branch workflow to govern small focused units of deployment.
