Building Applications in the Cloud: Concepts, Patterns, and Projects

Following the familiar “Design Patterns” format, expert cloud developer Chris Moyer introduces proven patterns for cloud platforms from Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Google, and other providers. Moyer demonstrates these patterns at work through extensive example code and case study applications for Python and Amazon Web Services (AWS). As you increasingly move to the cloud, you’ll constantly encounter the challenges this book solves. You’ll rely on it for years–whenever you need a cloud solution you can trust.

Chris Moyer is a recent graduate of RIT, the Rochester Institute of Technology, with a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering.
