Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices

By: John Gilbert

Overview of this book

Build systems that leverage the benefits of the cloud and applications faster than ever before with cloud-native development. This book focuses on architectural patterns for building highly scalable cloud-native systems. You will learn how the combination of cloud, reactive principles, devops, and automation enable teams to continuously deliver innovation with confidence. Begin by learning the core concepts that make these systems unique. You will explore foundational patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability with cloud-native databases. You will also learn how to continuously deliver production code with confidence by shifting deployment and testing all the way to the left and implementing continuous observability in production. There's more—you will also learn how to strangle your monolith and design an evolving cloud-native system. By the end of the book, you will have the ability to create modern cloud-native systems.

Event Streaming

Leverage a fully managed streaming service to implement all inter-component communication asynchronously, whereby upstream components delegate processing to downstream components by publishing domain events that are consumed downstream.

Context, problem, and forces

With cloud-native systems, we want to enable everyday companies and empower self-sufficient full-stack teams to rapidly, continuously, and confidently deliver these global scale systems. Following the reactive principles, these systems should be responsive, resilient, elastic, and message-driven. To this end, cloud-native systems are composed of many bounded isolated components that communicate via asynchronous messaging to increase responsiveness...
