DESCRIPTION:
Microservices architecture offers IT organizations myriad benefits and advantages over traditional monolithic application development, including a hand-in-glove match for cloud environments that more and more companies are adopting. So it’s no mystery that so many organizations are transitioning their application development strategies to a microservices mindset. But even in the realm of microservices, building and operating an application at scale can be daunting. Problems can include something as fundamental as having too few resources and time to continue developing and operating your application, to underestimating the needs of your rapidly growing customer base. At its best, failure to build for scale can be frustrating. At its worst, it can cause entire projects—even whole companies—to fail.
Realistically, we know that it’s impossible to remove all risk from an application. No one has invented a functional crystal ball yet, so risk will always be a part of the development process, and technical debt will continue to be a burden to you and your application. But, we certainly can learn to manage and minimize that risk and lessen the impact of scale-related problems that do arise.
In this video course, designed for application planners and architects—even those without coding or code development experience—and based on content from the first edition of Architecting for Scale, by Lee Atchison (available on Safari), you’ll learn how to build, maintain, and operate a large, complex, modern application at scale. You’ll examine how to measure risk and the importance of doing so. You’ll also explore the Risk Matrix and learn how to create one for you project. Then, you’ll look at mitigation strategies, such as anticipating and handling service failures and using service tiers, that you can apply to avoid some of the more obvious development pitfalls. When you’ve completed this video course, you’ll have a deeper understanding of how to build and maintain high-availability applications at scale.
