CHAPTER FIVEApplication Development and Modernization Opening
While virtually all applications share the same basic elements (compute, storage, database access, and networking ), there are different ways to develop and deploy those applications in the cloud depending on your specific requirements. You can migrate an existing on-premises application to the cloud, deploy your application to a hybrid or multicloud environment, or build a cloud-native, serverless application. Most modern applications benefit from a microservices-based, event-driven architecture. In this type of architecture, each microservice can be developed and deployed independent of other services, which offers flexibility to developers and increases development velocity. Building or modernizing an application requires:
Service orchestration and choreography
DevOps for continuous integration and continuous delivery from code to deployed applications
Operations to monitor, log, and troubleshoot applications
Security to secure the data and the infrastructure
This chapter covers the Google Cloud tools used to develop and modernize an application, whether you're migrating, deploying to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, or creating cloud-native, microservices-based applications.
