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.

Cloud-native design patterns

In the architectural tapestry of cloud-native application development, design patterns act as the master blueprint. They guide developers through the labyrinth of service interdependencies, data management, and scalability challenges. In this section, we’ll delve deep into the realm of cloud-native design patterns, providing you with the requisite understanding and practical insight to create robust and efficient applications. The practical examples used in the explanation can be found in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Multi-Cloud-Handbook-for-Developers/tree/main/Chapter-3. Let’s understand these design patterns in detail:

  • Microservices architecture: Let’s start with microservices architecture, the linchpin of cloud-native development. Microservices decompose a large application into manageable, independent services, each performing a single business capability, as depicted in Figure 3.1. They promote...
