How do you handle API method deprecation over time? Or simultaneously support multiple versions of the same API? How do you partition an application by function in a scalable environment? This practical book provides developers, DevOps practitioners, software architects, and IT managers with a foundational understanding of HTTP proxy-based architectures and how HTTP messages flow through them.
Youll also learn how to use Node.js to implement a variety of architectural patterns commonly used to support continuous deployment. These examples will provide not only an architectural overview, but also code samples to enable development of customized solutions.
- Master modern HTTP architectures with an expert, in-depth look at agile development methods, proxies, proxy architecture, and message flow
- Get a playbook for blue/green deployment architecture with example code and Node modules required
- Learn Application Function partitioning as an efficient scaling strategy
