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.

Summary

In this chapter, we embarked on an exciting journey through the world of cloud-native applications, using our Lego metaphor to piece together each concept clearly and playfully. We laid the groundwork by introducing key principles such as the Twelve-Factor App methodology, microservices, APIs, and the concept of statelessness, just as you'd start a Lego project by choosing the right base and bricks.

We also navigated through vital features such as scalability, elasticity, resilience, and fault tolerance, understanding how they make cloud-based apps as sturdy and adaptable as a well-designed Lego structure. Our exploration took us deeper into the architecture of cloud-native applications, examining the roles of microservices, API gateways, and service meshes, and appreciating how each part fits together like perfectly interlocking Lego pieces. We didn't shy away from complex topics either, tackling EDA and serverless computing, and adding more unique blocks to our...
