Architecting Cloud-Native Applications | WSO2Con Barcelona 2025
AI Summary
Summary Note for YouTube Video: Architectural Patterns and Microservices Deployment
Overview of the Session
- Introduction: Discussion on architecture patterns, managing, and deploying microservices, along with cloud-native applications.
- Focus Areas:
- Architectural patterns and trade-offs
- Distributed application deployment on Coro
- Hands-on session for creating components in Coro
Key Architectural Patterns Discussed
- Monolithic Applications:
- Single executable structure; examples like Twitter originated this way.
- Distributed Applications:
- Complexity of managing multiple services while aiming for scalability.
- Microservices Architecture:
- Advantages include easier scaling and management despite debugging complexities.
- Decomposition patterns (e.g., Strangler Pattern) for transitioning from monolith to microservices.
- Event-Driven Architecture:
- Asynchronous mechanism enables responsiveness but poses management challenges.
- Space-Based Architecture:
- Systems like StubHub previously relied on this for managing high transaction loads.
Cloud-Native Applications
- Designed to leverage infrastructure from cloud vendors (e.g., AWS, GCP).
- Benefits include scalability, resilience, faster market delivery, etc.
- Tooling Landscape:
- Wide array of technologies and services complicates decisions but offers flexibility.
Hands-On Demonstration of Deployment on Coro
- Example Project: Development of a hotel reservation system using Coro.
- Components:
- Use of MySQL database, Spring Boot for domain APIs, and ReactJS for front-end.
- Integration with Asgardio for identity and access management.
- Key Steps:
- Creating and deploying components without managing underlying infrastructure.
- Handling dependencies through secure connections.
Challenges and Trade-offs
- Technology Complexity: Transitioning to microservices involves navigating new technologies, especially Kubernetes.
- Architecture Trade-offs: Decisions on technology stacks, database choices, and endpoint management are pivotal for success.
Conclusion
- The session illustrates building and deploying cloud-native applications efficiently using Coro, showcasing a structured approach to microservices and modern architecture patterns.
- Discussion on future directions for tooling and platform management to simplify developer experiences.
