Cloud native development is a modern approach to designing, building, deploying, and managing applications. This approach takes advantage of the benefits of utility computing from providers, such as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and emphasizes automation, elasticity, and resilience.

OCI is a next-generation cloud designed to run any application faster and more securely for less. It includes the tools used to build new cloud native applications and to run existing enterprise applications without rearchitecting them.

Whether you are new to the cloud or just new to OCI, this book provides an overview of the OCI services needed to build cloud native applications. You will learn:

OCI concepts and terminology
How to manage Infrastructure as Code using modern tools and platforms
OCI’s breadth of cloud native services
How to operate the managed Kubernetes service (Container Engine for Kubernetes) at scale
How to configure a cluster for advanced use cases, and use specialized hardware capabilities
How to use cloud native application deployment platforms and observability tools
How to secure applications, data, and the underlying infrastructure using open-source and OCI native security tools and processes

The culmination of the book is an open-source sample application composed of microservices that incorporates the tools and concepts shared throughout the book and is available on GitHub.

The users service is built in TypeScript using the NestJS framework, which uses progressive javascript to build efficient Node.js server applications. It also uses TypeORM, which is an Object Relational Mapper for TypeScript and javascript. Oracle DB connectivity is enabled by the official node-oracledb package from Oracle, for Node.js.

As with any other cloud provider, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides application programming interfaces (APIs) for all its infrastructure resources. This means that every single infrastructure resource that OCI provides can be created and managed using its APIs. On top of these APIs, OCI provides software development kits (SDKs) for various programming languages, which make the process of calling these APIs from your favorite programming language easy and enables you to create a new breed of software that can provision and manage hardware by itself. For example, if you have a Java or Python application that needs to create compute resources or set up other infrastructure, you can use the SDK to make the call to the OCI APIs from your language of choice.

Who Should Read This Book?
This book is written for developers, DevOps professionals, architects, or anyone who wants to understand the various developer-focused features of OCI. Familiarity with OCI is not assumed, and familiarity with the general cloud services model is helpful but not required. The book focuses on the cloud native services and platforms offered by OCI but does not cover every OCI feature or platform.
