Cloud Native Patterns - by Cornelia Davis (Paperback)

About the Book

With cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, even small teams can take full advantage of web-scale distributed application patterns and practice.

Cloud Native: Designing Change-tolerant Software is the best guide to developing strong applications that thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud.

Key Features

- The application lifecycle of Cloud Native apps

- Automated configuration management

- Multi-tenant services, versioned services, and parallel deploys

- Understanding Cloud Native Routing

- Managing dependencies between apps and services

Requires intermediate programming skill with Java or a similar language. Some experience with server-side development is helpful.

About the technology

Cloud-native software promises near-zero downtime, shortened feedback cycles, multi-device support, and improved cost control. All this means developers need to learn new skills and techniques, along with a new way of thinking about application design.

Cornelia Davis is the Sr. Director of Technology at Pivotal Software. A teacher at heart, Cornelia has spent the last 25 making better software and better software developers.

Book Synopsis

Cloud Native Patternsis your guide to developing strong applications that thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud. This book presents a mental model for cloud-native applications, along with the patterns, practices, and tooling that set them apart.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Technology

Cloud platforms promise the holy grail: near-zero downtime, infinite scalability, short feedback cycles, fault-tolerance, and cost control. But how do you get there? By applying cloudnative designs, developers can build resilient, easily adaptable, web-scale distributed applications that handle massive user traffic and data loads. Learn these fundamental patterns and practices, and you'll be ready to thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud.

About the Book

With 25 years of experience under her belt, Cornelia Davis teaches you the practices and patterns that set cloud-native applications apart. With realistic examples and expert advice for working with apps, data, services, routing, and more, she shows you how to design and build software that functions beautifully on modern cloud platforms. As you read, you will start to appreciate that cloud-native computing is more about the how and why rather than the where.

What's inside

• The lifecycle of cloud-native apps
• Cloud-scale configuration management
• Zero downtime upgrades, versioned services, and parallel deploys
• Service discovery and dynamic routing
• Managing interactions between services, including retries and circuit breakers

Requires basic software design skills and an ability to read Java or a similar language.
