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.

Multi-level roadmaps

We will be performing deployments much more frequently, but we do not perform deployments for the sake of performing deployments. Smaller batch sizes actually increase our confidence in any specific deployment. However, we must be very deliberate about each deployment. For example, the order in which related changes are deployed to multiple components may be very important. Therefore, fine-grained deployment roadmaps are a necessity, but these are activities directed towards a higher goal.

Release roadmaps

We are building or changing a system for a specific purpose. There is a product vision that we are trying to achieve. This vision is sliced into a series of experiments that teams will perform by implementing...
