Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices

By: John Gilbert

Overview of this book

Build systems that leverage the benefits of the cloud and applications faster than ever before with cloud-native development. This book focuses on architectural patterns for building highly scalable cloud-native systems. You will learn how the combination of cloud, reactive principles, devops, and automation enable teams to continuously deliver innovation with confidence. Begin by learning the core concepts that make these systems unique. You will explore foundational patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability with cloud-native databases. You will also learn how to continuously deliver production code with confidence by shifting deployment and testing all the way to the left and implementing continuous observability in production. There's more—you will also learn how to strangle your monolith and design an evolving cloud-native system. By the end of the book, you will have the ability to create modern cloud-native systems.

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed a risk migration strategy, known as the Strangler pattern, where we incrementally migrate to cloud-native following a roadmap of experimentation that is focused on adding value. We leverage bi-directional synchronization, so that features can continue to be used in the legacy system in tandem with the new cloud-native system. We empower self-sufficient, full-stack teams to define the migration roadmap, implement our cloud-native development practices, and establish the cloud-native foundational components. We discussed how our reactive, cloud-native architecture itself is designed to evolve by employing the Strangler pattern. I also left you with some final thoughts on how to welcome polyglot cloud and build a consistent team experience across multiple cloud providers.
