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.

Offline-first database

Persist user data in local storage and synchronize with the cloud when connected so that client-side changes are published as events and cloud-side changes are retrieved from materialized views.

Context, problem, and forces

In cloud-native systems, the presentation layer lives on the client and the client device is more and more mobile. Users have more than one device, including phones and tablets and, to a decreasing degree, traditional desktops. The presentation layer must communicate with the backend component to send and receive data and perform actions. Mobile users frequently experience spotty connectivity, which increases latency and often leaves them completely disconnected.
