Offline-first databases enable high availability for an increasingly mobile user base. End users interact with Backend For Frontend components to consume information and perform system functions. While External Service Gateway components provide for bi-directional integration with other systems.
In this chapter, we will conclude our discussion of cloud-native patterns. We will build on the foundation patterns...
