About the book
Without
established design patterns to guide them, developers have had to build
distributed systems from scratch, and most of these systems are very unique
indeed. Today, the increasing use of containers has paved the way for core
distributed system patterns and reusable containerized components. This
practical guide presents a collection of repeatable, generic patterns to help
make the development of reliable distributed systems far more approachable and
efficient.
Author Brendan Burns—Director of Engineering at Microsoft Azure—demonstrates
how you can adapt existing software design patterns for designing and building
reliable distributed applications. Systems engineers and application developers
will learn how these long-established patterns provide a common language and
framework for dramatically increasing the quality of your system.
•Understand how patterns and reusable components enable the rapid development
of reliable distributed systems •Use the side-car, adapter, and ambassador
patterns to split your application into a group of containers on a single
machine •Explore loosely coupled multi-node distributed patterns for
replication, scaling, and communication between the components •Learn
distributed system patterns for large-scale batch data processing covering
work-queues, event-based processing, and coordinated workflows
