Developing Open Cloud Native Microservices

Developing Open Cloud Native Microservices

What are the challenges to creating, running, and supporting cloud native microservices? In this report, developer advocates from IBM explain what you need to know when building new cloud-based applications. Software developers will learn how to work with Java and several modern techniques to develop, deploy, and secure microservices in a cloud native environment. You'll examine the key principles for microservices-such as data consistency and continuous delivery-that not only are important for a cloud application but also support the operational and deployment needs of today's applications in general. Learn exactly what cloud native means and why open source, open communities, and open standards are critical to the future of these highly available applications. Understand why open source technologies are ideal for cloud development Work with the author's example coffee-shop application Learn the Java runtimes and frameworks that offer the best foundation for cloud native applications Start by implementing service components that have a direct relation to your business use case Secure REST services, handle service faults, and communicate what your services do Consider the observability of your cloud-native application before writing its functionality.

Cloud Native Transformation

In the past few years, going cloud native has been a big advantage for many companies. But it’s a tough technique to get right, especially for enterprises with critical legacy systems. This practical hands-on guide examines effective architecture, design, and cultural patterns to help you transform your organization into a cloud native enterprise—whether you’re moving from older architectures or creating new systems from scratch. By following Wealth Grid, a fictional company, you’ll understand the challenges, dilemmas, and considerations that accompany a move to the cloud. Technical managers and architects will learn best practices for taking on a successful company-wide transformation. Cloud migration consultants Pini Reznik, Jamie Dobson, and Michelle Gienow draw patterns from the growing community of expert practitioners and enterprises that have successfully built cloud native systems. You’ll learn what works and what doesn’t when adopting cloud native—including how this transition affects not just your technology but also your organizational structure and processes. You’ll learn: What cloud native means and why enterprises are so interested in it Common barriers and pitfalls that have affected other companies (and how to avoid them) Context-specific patterns for a successful cloud native transformation How to implement a safe, evolutionary cloud native approach How companies addressed root causes and misunderstandings that hindered their progress Case studies from real-world companies that have succeeded with cloud native transformations
