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.

Deployment pipeline

The deployment pipeline is governed by a Git pull request in the context of a task branch workflow. The short-lived branch helps control the batch size of the deployment; the focused change is tested, reviewed, and manually approved, and the deployments are fully automated. The pipeline is orchestrated by multiple tools. A modern CI/CD tool controls the overall flow, node package manager (npm) controls the individual steps, the cloud provider's infrastructure-as-code service provisions the cloud resources, and the Serverless Framework provides an important abstraction layer for the infrastructure-as-code service.
