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.

Shifting testing to the right


Confidence, confidence, and more confidence: the promise of cloud-native is to enable companies to rapidly and continuously deliver innovation to their customers with confidence. Throughout this book, the speed of innovation and the stability of the system are the primary motivations driving the architecture of cloud-native systems and the methods we employ to deliver these systems. Confidence is so important that a crisis of confidence will stifle innovation. Cloud-native drives cultural change precisely because we build upstream trust by increasing the business's confidence in our cloud-native architecture and practices.

Disposable infrastructure increases confidence because our automated deployments become repeatable and routine. Bounded isolated components increase our confidence because they provide proper bulks to limit the blast radius when a component fails. Value-added cloud services increase our confidence because we delegate the management of complex...
