Developing Scalable Web Applications with Cloud Architecture
When developing a web application, it's crucial to consider a simplified yet effective approach to the architecture, especially when leveraging the power of cloud platforms. Here are some essential steps and patterns to ensure a robust and scalable application: DNS : When you type <your domain>.com, the request goes to the DNS server, which responds with an IP address. It uses the cloud's global network to serve DNS zones from various locations worldwide, ensuring high availability and low latency for users. Web Servers : The IP obtained from the DNS server is used by the user's computer to make a connection to the web server where the front-end is deployed. Application Servers : The application's business logic is deployed on the application server. This may involve multiple functional microservices. Requests to this application server are usually limited to web servers and internal services. Database : The application needs one or more databases to store info...
