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.

Boundary Patterns

In the previous chapter, we began our discussion of cloud-native patterns with foundation patterns. We leverage fully managed cloud-native databases and event streaming services to empower self-sufficient, full-stack teams to create globally scalable systems composed of bounded isolated components, which, following Reactive principles, are responsive, resilient, elastic, and message-driven. All inter-component communication is performed via asynchronous event streaming, which is typically triggered using the Database-First variant of the Event Sourcing pattern. With these bounded isolated components, we create proper functional and technical bulkheads, such that teams can continuously deliver innovation with confidence.

In this chapter, we will continue our discussion of cloud-native patterns. We will build on the foundation patterns and discuss the patterns...
