JavaScript Cloud Native Development Cookbook

▶Book Description
Cloud-native development is a modern approach to building and running applications that leverages the merits of the cloud computing model. With cloud-native development, teams can deliver faster and in a more lean and agile manner as compared to traditional approaches. This recipe-based guide provides quick solutions for your cloud-native applications.

Beginning with a brief introduction, JavaScript Cloud-Native Development Cookbook guides you in building and deploying serverless, event-driven, cloud-native microservices on AWS with Node.js. You'll then move on to the fundamental patterns of developing autonomous cloud-native services and understand the tools and techniques involved in creating globally scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud-native applications. The book also covers multi-regional deployments and leveraging the edge of the cloud to maximize responsiveness, resilience, and elasticity.

In the latter chapters you'll explore techniques for building fully automated, continuous deployment pipelines and gain insights into polyglot cloud-native development on popular cloud platforms such as Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). By the end of the book, you'll be able to apply these skills to build powerful cloud-native solutions.

▶What this book covers
⦁ Chapter 1, Getting Started with Cloud-Native, showcases how the ease of defining and deploying serverless, cloud-native resources, such as functions, streams, and databases, empowers self-sufficient, full-stack teams to continuously deliver with confidence.

⦁ Chapter 2, Applying the Event Sourcing and CQRS Patterns, demonstrates how to use these patterns to create fully autonomous services, by eliminating inter-service synchronous communication through the use of event streaming and materialized views.

⦁ Chapter 3, Implementing Autonomous Services, explores the boundary and control patterns for creating autonomous services, such as Backend for Frontend, External Service Gateway, and Event Orchestration.

⦁ Chapter 4, Leveraging the Edge of the Cloud, provides concrete examples of using a cloud provider's content delivery network to increase the performance and security of autonomous services.

⦁ Chapter 5, Securing Cloud-Native Systems, looks at leveraging the shared responsibility model of cloud-native security so that you can focus your efforts on securing the domainspecific layers of your cloud-native systems.

⦁ Chapter 6, Building a Continuous Deployment Pipeline, showcases techniques, such as task branch workflow, transitive end-to-end testing, and feature flags, that help teams continuously deploy changes to production with confidence by shifting deployment and testing all the way to the left, controlling batch sizes, and decoupling deployment from release.

⦁ Chapter 7, Optimizing Observability, demonstrates how to instill team confidence by continuously testing in production to assert the health of a cloud-native system and by placing our focus on the mean time to recovery.

⦁ Chapter 8, Designing for Failure, deals with techniques, such as backpressure, idempotency, and the Stream Circuit Breaker pattern, for increasing the robustness and resilience of autonomous services.

⦁ Chapter 9, Optimizing Performance, explores techniques, such as asynchronous nonblocking IO, session consistency, and function tuning, for boosting the responsiveness of autonomous services.

⦁ Chapter 10, Deploying to Multiple Regions, demonstrates how to deploy global autonomous services that maximize availability and minimize latency by creating fully replicated, active-active deployments across regions and implementing regional failover.

⦁ Chapter 11, Welcoming Polycloud, explores the freedom provided by choosing the right cloud provider one service at a time while maintaining a consistent development pipeline experience.
