Book Description

Build systems that leverage the benefits of the cloud and applications faster than ever before with cloud-native development. This book focuses on architectural patterns for building highly scalable cloud-native systems. You will learn how the combination of cloud, reactive principles, DevOps, and automation can enable you and your team to continuously deliver innovation with confidence.

You will begin by learning the core concepts that make cloud-native systems highly scalable. Next, you'll explore foundational patterns that turn your database inside-out to achieve massive scalability with cloud-native databases. The book will also guide you through learning how to continuously deliver production code with confidence by shifting deployment and testing all the way to the left. This will help you in implementing continuous observability in production. As you approach the concluding chapters, you'll learn to design evolving cloud-native systems by understanding various advanced patterns and best practices involved in cloud-native application development.

By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills to create robust and modern cloud-native systems.

What you will learn

• Enable massive scalability by turning your database inside-out
• Unleash flexibility via event streaming
• Leverage polyglot persistence and cloud-native databases
• Embrace modern continuous delivery and testing techniques
• Develop an evolving cloud-native system
• Apply cloud-native patterns and solve major architectural problems in the cloud environment

About the Author:

John Gilbert is a CTO with over 25 years of experience in architecting and delivering distributed, event-driven systems. His cloud journey started around 5 years ago and has spanned all the levels of cloud maturity-through lift and shift, software-defined infrastructure, microservices, and continuous deployment. He finds delivering cloud-native solutions to be, by far, the most fun and satisfying, as they force us to rewire how we reason about systems and enable us to accomplish far more with much less effort.
