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.

Securing your cloud account

Everything we do to secure our cloud-native systems is all for nothing if we do not endeavor to secure our cloud accounts as well. There is a set of best practices that we must put in place for every cloud account we create. As we strive to create autonomous services, we should leverage the natural bulkhead between cloud accounts by grouping related services into more, fine-grained accounts instead of fewer, coarse-grained accounts. In this recipe, we will see how treating accounts as code enables us to manage many accounts easily by applying the same infrastructure-as-code practices we employ to manage our many autonomous services.
