Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers

By: Subash Natarajan, Jeveen Jacob

Overview of this book

Unleash the power of cloud computing with Multi-Cloud Handbook for Developers, your guide to mastering the nuances of cloud-native and multi-cloud, covering practical strategies for design, development, and management. Explore the essential concepts, challenges, and methodologies critical for navigating the complex landscape of modern cloud computing. Using core architectural and design principles (such as microservices and 12-factor architecture) and advanced strategies (such as distributed application design patterns, domain-driven design (DDD), and API-first strategies), you’ll learn how to build portable and efficient apps across various cloud platforms. You’ll understand how to leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC), continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD), GitOps, and DevOps practices, along with containerization and orchestration techniques using Docker and Kubernetes. You’ll also get to grips with data, security, compliance, and cloud cost management strategies in multi-cloud environments. With real-world case studies, best practices, and insights into future trends, this book will equip you with the skills to develop, manage, troubleshoot, and innovate cloud-native applications across diverse cloud platforms, positioning you at the forefront of the cloud computing revolution.

Load testing and performance optimization

In the context of multi-cloud cloud-native application development, load testing and performance optimization play a vital role in ensuring your application delivers a seamless experience to users. Let’s delve into what load testing is, its significance, and provide detailed examples of its implementation:

  • Load testing: It is the process of evaluating how a system or application performs under specific conditions of load or stress. It involves simulating a large number of concurrent users or requests to assess the application’s responsiveness, scalability, and stability. In multi-cloud environments, where applications are distributed across various cloud providers, load testing becomes even more critical due to potential variability in cloud performance. Now, let’s understand the significance of load testing:
    • Identify performance bottlenecks: Load testing helps pinpoint performance bottlenecks, allowing you to optimize...
