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.

Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS)

Consume state change events from upstream components and maintain materialized views that support queries used within a component.

Context, problem, and forces

You are building a reactive, cloud-native system that is composed of bounded isolated components. Each component leverages value-added cloud services to implement one or more cloud-native databases that are exclusively owned by each component. This isolation empowers your self-sufficient, full-stack team to rapidly and continuously deliver innovation with confidence.

This isolation also makes it challenging to work with data across components. First, making synchronous requests between components to retrieve data is problematic...
