Architecting Cloud Native Applications

By: Kamal Arora, Erik Farr, John Gilbert, Piyum Zonooz

Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices by John Gilbert • Cloud Native Architectures by Erik Farr et al.

Predictions for the next three years – what to expect in terms of cloud native architecture evolution


Although the cloud has already become mainstream for all types of applications and use cases, if we look at the overall market potential, it's still in its very early stages. That, coupled with the trends and advancements we are seeing, let's look at the top seven predictions that will promote the cloud native adoption in the coming three years.

Open source frameworks and platforms

Many customers are worried about lock-in aspects in the public cloud. However, this fear is totally unfounded as every piece of software and application has some vendor-specific intellectual aspects which provide value to the customer, so they shouldn't just be viewed from a lock-in perspective. As an example, for, say, word processing, many of the customers make use of Microsoft Word, so if you use that to create a document, in a way you are tied to the application, but that doesn't imply that you are locked in...
