Software Architecture Patterns for Serverless Systems - Second Edition

By: John Gilbert

Overview of this book

Organizations undergoing digital transformation rely on IT professionals to design systems to keep up with the rate of change while maintaining stability. With this edition, enriched with more real-world examples, you’ll be perfectly equipped to architect the future for unparalleled innovation. This book guides through the architectural patterns that power enterprise-grade software systems while exploring key architectural elements (such as events-driven microservices, and micro frontends) and learning how to implement anti-fragile systems. First, you'll divide up a system and define boundaries so that your teams can work autonomously and accelerate innovation. You'll cover the low-level event and data patterns that support the entire architecture while getting up and running with the different autonomous service design patterns. This edition is tailored with several new topics on security, observability, and multi-regional deployment. It focuses on best practices for security, reliability, testability, observability, and performance. You'll be exploring the methodologies of continuous experimentation, deployment, and delivery before delving into some final thoughts on how to start making progress. By the end of this book, you'll be able to architect your own event-driven, serverless systems that are ready to adapt and change.

Summary

In this chapter, we dug into the details of the Control Service pattern and you learned how to use it to implement inter-service collaboration, such that changes in business policies have minimal impact on the boundary services. We looked at variations on the pattern that handle orchestration and compensation transactions and you learned about the ACID 2.0 principles and how to use them to create event-sourcing snapshots. You also learned how we can use CEP and ML to initiate business processes.In the next chapter, we will see how running in multiple regions optimizes responsiveness and resilience.. We will cover regional routing, regional replication, regional health checks, and regional failover.
