Author Cornelia Davis likes to say that "the cloud" is more about how you design your applications than where you deploy them. Cloud Native Patterns: Designing Change-tolerant Software is your guide to developing strong applications that thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud. This book presents a mental model for cloud-native applications, along with the patterns, practices, and tooling that sets them apart. In it, you'll find realistic examples and expert advice for working with apps, data, services, routing, and more.
