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.

Implementing bi-directional synchronization

Cloud-native systems are architectured to support the continuous evolution of the system. Upstream and downstream services are designed to be pluggable. New service implementations can be added without impacting related services. Furthermore, continuous deployment and delivery necessitate the ability to run multiple versions of a service side by side and synchronize data between the different versions. The old version is simply removed when the new version is complete and the feature is flipped on. In this recipe, we will enhance the database-first variant of the Event Sourcing pattern with the latching pattern to facilitate bi-directional synchronization without causing an infinite loop of events.
