Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the foundational patterns of reactive, cloud-native systems. We learned how leveraging fully managed cloud-native databases and event streaming empowers self-sufficient, full-stack teams to rapidly, continuously, and confidently deliver global scale systems by delegating the complexity of operating these services to the cloud provider so that they can focus on the value proposition of their components. With Event Sourcing, we communicate state changes between components as a series of atomically produced immutable events and the data lake collects, stores, and indexes all events in perpetuity with complete fidelity and high durability. These events act as the source of record and support the replay and ...
