Cloud native development offers a powerful approach to rapidly build, secure, and scale software solutions. However, the journey is often complex, requiring careful navigation to avoid potential pitfalls. This book provides practical guidance, demonstrating how to leverage Google Cloud as a dynamic environment for rapid innovation, a robust factory for automated build and testing processes, and a secure citadel for operating applications at scale.
Author Daniel Vaughan guides you through the process of transitioning applications from initial prototype to full production, seamlessly integrating Google Cloud services, a cloud native programming model, and established best practices. Through a comprehensive example project, developers, architects, and engineering managers working with the Google Cloud Platform will gain the confidence to build and run cloud native applications effectively on Google Cloud.
With this book, you will:
Understand cloud native development concepts including microservices, containerization, and event-driven architecture
Learn Google Cloud services that specifically support this development style: compute, persistence, messaging, DevOps, security and networking, and observability
Confidently build cloud native applications on Google Cloud
Learn how to address nonfunctional requirements such as security, observability, and testing
Successfully make the transition from initial proofs of concept and prototypes to production systems
