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.

Cloud technology ecosystems


Consideration of the cloud ecosystem and how to leverage it is a critical step in the cloud native journey. There are three main areas to focus on when thinking about partners on this journey: cloud providers, ISV partners, and system integrators. Together, along with the company people going on the journey, they will make up the foundation of the people, processes, and technology used to transform the business with cloud computing.

Public cloud providers

This book is focused on public cloud providers, which, in the fullness of time, will most likely be the dominant way companies consume IT resources. The cloud, as it is today, began in 2006 when Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched its first public services (Amazon Simple Queueing Service and Amazon Simple Storage Service). From there, they raced to add features at a very fast pace of innovation, with virtual server instances, virtual networking, block storage, and other foundational infrastructure services. In 2010...
