This comprehensive guide helps developers and architects understand current cloud-native technologies, with recommendations that explain when you need to use each one. Authors Boris Scholl, Trent Swanson, and Peter Jausovec describe the patterns you need for building cloud-native applications, and provide best practices for the most common tasks such as messaging, eventing, and DevOps. This practical book also delivers an architectural blueprint for a modern cloud-native application. You'll learn about microservices, containers, serverless computing, storage types, data considerations, portability, and the use of functions. Differentiate between containers and functions, and understand when to use which technology Leverage Service Meshes to move complexity, such as distributed tracing and mutual TLS handshakes, away from the developer Use messaging and eventing as the glue for the cloud-native composite applications Handle state-in distributed applications Understand what makes your application portable

How to Build a Blueprint for Next-Generation Applications

Cloud Native: Containers, Functions, Data, and Kubernetes

Developers often struggle when first encountering the cloud. Learning about distributed systems, becoming familiar with technologies such as containers and functions, and knowing how to put everything together can be daunting. With this practical guide, you’ll get up to speed on patterns for building cloud native applications and best practices for common tasks such as messaging, eventing, and DevOps. Authors Boris Scholl, Trent Swanson, and Peter Jausovec describe the architectural building blocks for a modern cloud native application. You’ll learn how to use microservices, containers, serverless computing, storage types, portability, and functions. You’ll also explore the fundamentals of cloud native applications, including how to design, develop, and operate them. Explore the technologies you need to design a cloud native application Distinguish between containers and functions, and learn when to use them Architect applications for data-related requirements Learn DevOps fundamentals and practices for developing, testing, and operating your applications Use tips, techniques, and best practices for building and managing cloud native applications Understand the costs and trade-offs necessary to make an application portable
