JavaScript Cloud Native Development Cookbook

By: John Gilbert

Overview of this book

Cloud-native development is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverages the merits of the cloud computing model. With cloud-native development, teams can deliver faster and in a more lean and agile manner as compared to traditional approaches. This recipe-based guide provides quick solutions for your cloud-native applications. Beginning with a brief introduction, JavaScript Cloud-Native Development Cookbook guides you in building and deploying serverless, event-driven, cloud-native microservices on AWS with Node.js. You'll then move on to the fundamental patterns of developing autonomous cloud-native services and understand the tools and techniques involved in creating globally scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud-native applications. The book also covers multi-regional deployments and leveraging the edge of the cloud to maximize responsiveness, resilience, and elasticity. In the latter chapters you'll explore techniques for building fully automated, continuous deployment pipelines and gain insights into polyglot cloud-native development on popular cloud platforms such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By the end of the book, you'll be able to apply these skills to build powerful cloud-native solutions.

Introduction

Cloud-native is lean. Companies today must continuously experiment with new product ideas so that they can adapt to changing market demands; otherwise, they risk falling behind their competition. To operate at this pace, they must leverage fully managed cloud services and fully-automated deployments to minimize time to market, mitigate operating risks, and empower self-sufficient, full-stack teams to accomplish far more with much less effort.

The recipes in this cookbook demonstrate how to use fully managed, serverless cloud services to develop and deploy lean and autonomous services. This chapter contains bare-boned recipes with no clutter in order to focus on the core aspects of deploying cloud-native components and to establish a solid foundation for the remainder of this cookbook.
