Practical DevOps - Second Edition

By: joakim verona

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all code workflows from testing environments to production environments. It stresses cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. Practical DevOps begins with a quick refresher on DevOps and continuous delivery and quickly moves on to show you how DevOps affects software architectures. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’'ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, you will explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to test your code with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. In addition to this, you will also see how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure that it runs as expected. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect different processes. By the end of the book, you will be familiar with all the tools needed to deploy, integrate, and deliver efficiently with DevOps.

Back to the monolithic scenario

In the previous scenario with the spelling correction, it is clear that we failed with respect to the separation of concerns. We didn't have any modularization at all, at least from a deployment point of view. The system appears to have the undesirable features of low cohesion and high coupling.

If we had a set of separate deployment modules instead, our spelling correction would most likely have affected only a single module. It would have been more apparent that deploying the change was safe.

How this should be accomplished in practice varies, of course. In this particular example, the spelling corrections probably belong to a frontend web component. At the very least, this frontend component can be deployed separately from the backend components and have their own life cycle.

In the real world, though, we may not be lucky enough to always...
