2 Cloud native patterns and technologies

This chapter covers

Understanding development principles for cloud native applications
Building cloud native applications with Spring Boot
Containerizing applications with Docker and Buildpacks
Deploying applications to the cloud with Kubernetes
Introducing patterns and technologies used in the book

The way we design applications for the cloud is different from traditional approaches. The 12-Factor methodology, consisting of best practices and development patterns, is a good starting point for building applications that can be considered cloud native. I’ll explain the methodology in the first part of this chapter, and I’ll expand on it throughout the book.

Later in this chapter, we’ll build a simple ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
