Years of knowledge on migrating and evolving complex, high-volume systems, distilled into an easy-to-digest format. If I had access to this material at the start of my career, many projects would have been far easier!
—Diego Oliveira, software developer manager, Amazon

This book has been an absolute pleasure to read. Cloud Application Architecture Patterns is exactly what I’ve been looking for to help level up my teams and tech leads. I’ll be recommending it for our tech book club later this year.
—Michael Keeling, senior staff software engineer at Kiavi and author of Design It!: From Programmer to Software Architect

These patterns give you a simple path to building cloud applications the right way. A valuable read for developers at any skill level.
—Steve Berczuk, principal software engineer, Cambridge Mobile Telematics

As someone who’s wrestled with the complexities of cloud application architecture, I can confidently say this book is a game-changer. Brown, Woolf, and Yoder have delivered a truly practical and insightful guide. It’s not just theory; it’s a roadmap. They expertly break down proven architectural practices, clearly explaining why certain choices are superior in the cloud. I particularly appreciated how they connected the dots between different technical decisions and adoption patterns, showing how they all fit into a cohesive strategy. Finally, a resource that empowers you to not just follow a template, but to intelligently chart your own course. If you’re serious about building efficient, robust cloud applications, this book is an absolute must-read.
—William A Brown, CEO, CIO, architect, cloud application engineering, distinguished engineer emeritus, and coauthor of SOA Governance: Achieving and Sustaining Business and IT Agility

This book will help architects to apply the right pattern in cloud architecture development, as well as application modernization and migration.
—Elizabeth Koumpan, distinguished engineer, BPO CTO

This is probably the most comprehensive book covering end-to-end cloud architecture that I have read. The chapters are easy to read and have a great flow. This will be my go-to playbook for years to come.
—Jim Episale, IBM CIO, chief integration and data architect, STSM

This book belongs on the bookshelf of every software engineer and architect! It was written by three seasoned software experts, each with decades of practical, real-world experience. Unlike many vendor platform-centric publications, the authors are delightfully technology-neutral. The book covers everything one needs to architect and design modern cloud applications. The authors explain the principles and practices of cloud architecture using well-established architecture patterns. I strongly recommend this book for those developing new applications or migrating a legacy monolith to the cloud.
—Dave Thomas, CEO, Bedarra Corporation

This book is all about getting applications to work with the cloud, rather than in spite of the cloud.
—Sam Newman, technologist, author of Building Microservices and Monolith To Microservices
