Cloud Native Python

By: Manish Sethi

Overview of this book

Businesses today are evolving so rapidly that having their own infrastructure to support their expansion is not feasible. As a result, they have been resorting to the elasticity of the cloud to provide a platform to build and deploy their highly scalable applications. This book will be the one stop for you to learn all about building cloud-native architectures in Python. It will begin by introducing you to cloud-native architecture and will help break it down for you. Then you’ll learn how to build microservices in Python using REST APIs in an event driven approach and you will build the web layer. Next, you’ll learn about Interacting data services and building Web views with React, after which we will take a detailed look at application security and performance. Then, you’ll also learn how to Dockerize your services. And finally, you’ll learn how to deploy the application on the AWS and Azure platforms. We will end the book by discussing some concepts and techniques around troubleshooting problems that might occur with your applications after you’ve deployed them. This book will teach you how to craft applications that are built as small standard units, using all the proven best practices and avoiding the usual traps. It's a practical book: we're going to build everything using Python 3 and its amazing tooling ecosystem. The book will take you on a journey, the destination of which, is the creation of a complete Python application based on microservices over the cloud platform

Summary

This chapter has been very interesting in different ways. Starting with tools, such as Cloudwatch and Application Insights, which are based on a cloud platforms and help you manage your application on cloud platform. Then, it moved toward open source tools, which have always been a first choice for developers, as they can customize it as per their requirements. We looked at the ELK stack, which has always been popular and is frequently used in many organizations in one way or another.

Now, we have come to the end of this edition of our book, but hopefully, there will be another edition, where we will talk about advanced application development and have more testing cases that could be useful for the QA audience as well. Enjoy coding!
