Conquering concurrency – best practices for robust cloud-native applications
Building cloud apps that juggle multiple tasks at once? It’s like managing a bustling zoo of data and operations! But fear not, because we’ve got the best practices to tame the concurrency beasts and build robust, scalable cloud apps. Here are the best practices to embed:
- Early identification: Proactively identify and address concurrency challenges through early analysis, modeling, and code review:
- Analyze application requirements: Identify critical sections, shared resources, and potential points of contention early in the design phase
- Use concurrency modeling tools: Utilize modeling tools such as statecharts or Petri nets to visualize and analyze potential concurrency issues
- Review existing code for concurrency bugs: Conduct code reviews and static analysis to identify potential race conditions, deadlocks, and other concurrency problems
- Embrace immutable data: Embrace unchangeable...
