AWS Lambda in Action
Summary
AWS Lambda in Action is an example-driven tutorial that teaches you how to build applications that use an event-driven approach on the back end. Starting with an overview of AWS Lambda, the audiobook moves on to show you common examples and patterns you can use to call Lambda functions from a web page or a mobile app. The second part of the audiobook puts these smaller examples together to build larger applications. By the end, you'll be ready to create applications that take advantage of the high availability, security, performance, and scalability of AWS. With AWS Lambda, you write your code and upload it to the AWS cloud. AWS Lambda responds to the events triggered by your application or your users and automatically manages the underlying computer resources for you. Your application is divided into small functions, leading naturally to a reactive architecture and the adoption of microservices. What's inside: Create a simple API Create an event-driven media-sharing application Secure access to your application in the cloud Use functions from different clients like web pages or mobile apps Connect your application with external services Requires basic knowledge of JavaScript. Some examples are also provided in Python. No AWS experience is assumed. Danilo Poccia is a technical evangelist at Amazon Web Services and a frequent speaker at public events and workshops. Table of contents: Running functions in the cloud Your first Lambda function Your function as a web API Managing security Using stand-alone functions Managing identities Calling functions from a client Designing an authentication service Implementing an authentication service Adding more features to the authentication service Building a media-sharing application Why event-driven? Improving development and testing Automating deployment Automating infrastructure management Calling external services Receiving events from other services PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Amazon Web Services in Action
Summary
Amazon Web Services in Action introduces you to computing, storing, and networking in the AWS cloud. The audiobook will teach you about the most important services on AWS. You will also learn about best practices regarding security, high availability, and scalability. You'll start with a broad overview of cloud computing and AWS and learn how to spin-up servers manually and from the command line. You'll learn how to automate your infrastructure by programmatically calling the AWS API to control every part of AWS. You will be introduced to the concept of infrastructure as code with the help of AWS CloudFormation. You will learn about different approaches to deploy applications on AWS. You'll also learn how to secure your infrastructure by isolating networks, controlling traffic, and managing access to AWS resources. Next, you'll learn options and techniques for storing your data. You will experience how to integrate AWS services into your own applications by the use of SDKs. Finally, this audiobook teaches you how to design for high availability, fault tolerance, and scalability. Whether you're analyzing real-time data, building software as a service, or running an e-commerce site, AWS offers you a reliable cloud-based platform with services that scale. All services are controllable via an API that allows you to automate your infrastructure. What's inside: Overview of cloud concepts and patterns Manage servers on EC2 for cost-effectiveness Infrastructure automation with infrastructure as code (AWS CloudFormation) Deploy applications on AWS Store data on AWS: SQL, NoSQL, object storage, and block storage Integrate Amazon's pre-built services Architect highly available and fault-tolerant systems Made for developers and DevOps engineers moving distributed applications to the AWS platform. Andreas Wittig and Michael Wittig are software engineers and consultants focused on AWS and web development.

Docker in Action
Summary
Docker in Action teaches listeners how to create, deploy, and manage applications hosted in Docker containers. After starting with a clear explanation of the Docker model, you will learn how to package applications in containers, including techniques for testing and distributing applications. You will also learn how to run programs securely and how to manage shared resources. Using carefully designed examples, the book teaches you how to orchestrate containers and applications from installation to removal. Along the way, you'll discover techniques for using Docker on systems ranging from dev-and-test machines to full-scale cloud deployments. The idea behind Docker is simple. Create a tiny virtual environment, called a container, that holds just your application and its dependencies. The Docker engine uses the host operating system to build and account for these containers. They are easy to manage and applications running inside share resources, making their footprints small. What's inside: Packaging containers for deployment Installing, managing, and removing containers Working with Docker images Distributing with DockerHub Listeners need only have a working knowledge of the Linux OS. No prior knowledge of Docker is assumed. Jeff Nickoloff, a software engineer, has presented Docker and its applications to hundreds of developers and administrators at Desert Code Camp, Amazon, and technology meetups. Table of Contents Part 1 - Keeping a Tidy Computer Welcome to Docker Running software in containers Software installation simplified Persistent storage and shared state with volumes Network exposure Limiting risk with isolation Part 2 - Packaging Software for Distribution Packaging software in images Build automation and advanced image considerations Public and private software distribution Running customized registries Part 3 - Multi-Container and Multi-Host Environments Declarative environments with Docker Clusters with Machine and Swarm PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Microservices Patterns
Summary
Microservices Patterns teaches you how to develop and deploy production-quality microservices-based applications. This invaluable set of design patterns builds on decades of distributed system experience, adding new patterns for writing services and composing them into systems that scale and perform reliably under real-world conditions. More than just a patterns catalog, this practical guide offers experience-driven advice to help you design, implement, test, and deploy your microservices-based application. about the technology Successfully developing microservices-based applications requires mastering a new set of architectural insights and practices. In this unique book, microservice architecture pioneer and Java champion Chris Richardson collects, catalogues, and explains 44 patterns that solve problems such as service decomposition, transaction management, querying, and inter-service communication. what's inside How (and why!) to use the microservice architecture Service decomposition strategies Transaction management and querying patterns Effective testing strategies Deployment patterns including containers and serverlessices about the listener Written for enterprise developers familiar with standard enterprise application architecture. Examples are in Java. about the author Chris Richardson is a Java champion, a JavaOne rock star, author of Manning's POJOs in Action, and creator of the original CloudFoundry.com.
