Adoption of cloud-native application architectures is helping many organizations transform their IT into a force for true agility in the marketplace. This O’Reilly report defines the unique characteristics of cloud-native application architectures such as microservices and twelve-factor applications. Author Matt Stine also examines the cultural, organizational, and technical changes necessary to migrate traditional monolithic applications and service-oriented architectures to cloud-native architectures. You’ll also find a Migration Cookbook, with recipes for decomposing monolithic applications into microservices, implementing fault-tolerant patterns, and performing automated testing of cloud-native services. This report discusses application architectures that include: The Twelve-Factor App: A collection of cloud-native app architecture patterns Microservices: Independently deployable services that do one thing well Self-Service Agile Infrastructure: Platforms for rapid, repeatable, and consistent provisioning of app environments and backing services API-based Collaboration: Published and versioned APIs that allow interaction between services in a cloud-native app architecture Anti-Fragility: Systems that get stronger when subjected to stress About the Author Matt Stine, a technical product manager at Pivotal, is a 15-year enterprise IT veteran with experience across numerous business domains.
