Cloud Native Patterns

Designing Change-Tolerant Software

By: Cornelia Davis

Narrated by: Sarah Dawe

Cloud Native Patterns is your guide to developing strong applications that thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud. This audiobook presents a mental model for cloud-native applications, along with the patterns, practices, and tooling that set them apart.

About the technology

Cloud platforms promise the holy grail: Near-zero downtime, infinite scalability, short feedback cycles, fault-tolerance, and cost control. But how do you get there? By applying cloud native designs, developers can build resilient, easily adaptable, web-scale distributed applications that handle massive user traffic and data loads. Learn these fundamental patterns and practices, and you’ll be ready to thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud.

With realistic examples and expert advice for working with apps, data, services, routing, and more, she shows you how to design and build software that functions beautifully on modern cloud platforms. As you listen, you will start to appreciate that cloud-native computing is more about the how and why rather than the where.

Good content, not well suited to audiobook

Buy the physical or ebook. I should have looked at the reviews before purchasing. This was basically a wasted credit. That said, the content is good but without the reference diagrams it is hard to follow.

Useless as an audiobook

a) This book falsely lists "Mark Thomas" as the narrator, when it is in fact narrated by an artificial voice.
b) This book is useless without the referenced charts and figures, which are not included in any form with this audiobook.

pdf is missing

This version is narrated by a real person, unlike what other reviewers have experienced. Unfortunately, the accompanying pdf is still missing, which makes the book useless.

Terrible narration

This is text to speech, not a real narration. It’s terrible and selling this as an audiobook is likely fraud.
