En savoir plus sur le livre

The adoption of cloud-native application architectures is enabling organizations to transform their IT for greater agility in the marketplace. This O’Reilly report outlines the defining features of cloud-native architectures, including microservices and twelve-factor applications. Author Matt Stine explores the cultural, organizational, and technical shifts required to transition from traditional monolithic and service-oriented architectures to cloud-native solutions. Included is a Migration Cookbook with practical recipes for breaking down monolithic applications into microservices, implementing fault-tolerant patterns, and automating testing for cloud-native services. Key architectural concepts discussed include: The Twelve-Factor App, which presents cloud-native app patterns; Microservices, which are independently deployable services focused on specific functions; Self-Service Agile Infrastructure, which enables rapid and consistent provisioning of app environments; API-based Collaboration, allowing interaction between services through published APIs; and Anti-Fragility, where systems become stronger under stress. Matt Stine, a technical product manager at Pivotal, brings 15 years of enterprise IT experience across various domains, focusing on lean/agile methodologies, DevOps, and architectural patterns to help corporate IT operate like startups.
