Description
Without established design patterns to guide them, developers have needed to build distributed systems from scratch, and these kinds of systems are very unique indeed. Lately, the increasing use of containers has prepared the ground for core distributed system patterns and reusable containerized components. This practical guide presents a selection of repeatable, generic patterns to assist in making the development of reliable distributed systems way more approachable and efficient.
Author Brendan Burns—Director of Engineering at Microsoft Azure—demonstrates how you’ll adapt existing software design patterns for designing and building reliable distributed applications. Systems engineers and application developers will find out how these long-established patterns provide a common language and framework for dramatically increasing the quality of your system.
•Be aware 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
