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.

Value Focused Migration

In the previous chapter, we continued our deep dive into the human factors of cloud-native. We discussed how the shared responsibility model of cloud security, when combined with value-added cloud services, enables teams to focus their energies on the security of their data. We stressed the need to practice security-by-design and security-as-code to increase confidence in the security of cloud-native systems by eliminating the human factors of implementing defense-in-depth policies. We also discussed regulatory compliance, application level security, and disaster recovery.

In this final chapter, we will wrap up our discussion of the human factors of cloud-native. We will discuss how to leverage the promise of cloud-native to strangle the monolith and empower teams to mitigate the risks of their migration to cloud-native with a focus on value and incremental...
