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.

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.

Modern CI/CD

The latest generation of continuous integration and deployment tools provides a much more simplified model than traditional tools. Configuration is streamlined, they are fully managed, and they are seamlessly integrated with hosted Git services. These tools include the likes of TravisCI, CircleCI, GitLabCI, and Bitbucket Pipelines.
