Introduction to Serverless Architecture, Event-Driven Architecture, and Cloud Databases
This first chapter introduces the book’s content, which includes the modernization of apps using application programming interfaces (APIs), event-driven architecture, functions, and Service Fabric, and connecting them with a database.
Modernization is not just reserved for companies that have been operating stable systems for years and whose data volume has evolved. Organizations want to remain profitable and not be left behind by not modernizing technology and taking advantage of changes in the market due to world-changing factors, such as Covid-19.
Modernization is about accelerating innovation and reducing costs. Modernization is not just about the app but also the data.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following main topics:
- Understanding serverless architecture
- Understanding the role of APIs inside an application and their ecosystem
- Understanding event-driven architecture
- Exploring cloud databases
