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.

Backend For Frontend

Create dedicated and self-sufficient backend components to support the features of user-focused frontend applications.

Context, problem, and forces

Cloud-native, Reactive systems are composed of bounded isolated components, which provide proper bulkheads to enable the components to be responsive, resilient, and elastic. All inter-component communication is accomplished via asynchronous event streaming and components leverage materialized views to cache upstream data locally. To increase availability for an increasingly mobile user base, we leverage an offline-first database to store data on devices and synchronize with the cloud. The boundary components leverage an API gateway to expose a synchronous...
