Git always tracks the fifteen-factor app • There is only one codebase per app, but there are many deploys of the app. • The app is the same across all deploys, but different versions may be active in each deploy Configuration settings Provisioning settings Source code Production Staging QA Source code repository
completely and exactly via dependency declaration manifest • Helps to have a deterministic build • Do not rely on the implicit existence of any system tools
/ staging, Production) • URLS and other info about backing service such as Web Services and SMTP servers • Database connection strings • Information bundled in configuration files such as properties file or XML or YAML configs • Externalize configuration • Use product or service designed to expose configuration preferable with version management
backing services include file storage, databases, messaging systems, caching systems, SMTP servers, etc. • Bound resource connects an application to a backing service • Rules for resource binding • An application should declare its need for backing service but allow cloud environments to perform resource binding • External configuration is used to bind an application to backing service • It should be possible to attach and detach backing service from an application without redeploying the application Application Storage Service Authentication Service Database Service Messaging Service
of the application into the Design, Build, Release, Run • Continuous Integration (CI) creates the build artifact. There is 1:Many relationship between builds and deployments • Separating build and release phases and storing artifacts makes it easier for rollback and auditing • Run stage provides Scalability, Observability, Resiliency, etc. Build Run Release Code Design Configuration
a single, stateless process • All long lasting state must be external to the application, provided by backing services • Processes come and go, scale horizontally and vertically, and are highly disposable.

the network by port number, not a domain name • Self-contained apps does not require runtime injection of webserver into execution environment • Always maintain a 1:1 correlation between application and application server • Web application exports HTTP as a service by binding to a specific port and listening to requests Production www.handonarchitect.com:8080 Staging www.handsonarchitect.com:8081 QA www.handsonarchitect.com:8085 https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/development - Icon source Website / webapp

or stopped at a moment’s notice • Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown • Extremely slow startup time could prevent the app from starting at all in the cloud • Ensure apps shutdown quickly and gracefully and maintains correct state
our environments (Dev / QA / Staging / Pre-Production / Production) as similar as possible • Differences arise due to factors such as scaling and reliability needs, database drivers, security rules, firewalls and other environmental configuration settings • Common culprits for gaps between environments • Time – Reduce the time gap from checking code to production deployment • People – Automate deployments using CI CD pipelines • Resources – Reduce differences between environments using tools like Docker Production Staging Dev Production Staging Dev
stdout and stderr • Treat aggregation, processing, and storage of logs as non-functional requirements satisfied by the cloud provider Log collector Log storage Log search, visualise, dashboards rabbitmq-producer- service rabbitmq-consumer- deployment
in identical environment as the regular long-running processes • Run database migrations • Run periodic scripts (daily / nightly / monthly) • Run one time script to fix data issues • Run REPL Batch Process Database Service Azure Function
Allows rapid prototyping • Support a services ecosystem • Facilitates automated deployment testing and continuous delivery pipelines • Enables consumers and service developers to work in parallel • Helps to avoid bottlenecks and facilitates virtualization of APIs by allowing consumers to run tests against the mocks
Monitoring (APM) • Domain-specific telemetry • Health and System logs • Helps to scale, self-heal and manage alerts for end users and platform operators
should never be an afterthought • Secure all endpoints with Role-based access control (RBAC) • Enhance security using • OAuth2, OpenID Connect, SSO servers and standards • Language-specific authentication and authorization libraries
to 15 Factor App ✓ Use Declarative Formats for setup automation ✓ Have a Clean Contract, offering maximum portability between execution environments ✓ Suitable for deployment on modern Cloud Platforms, obviating the need for servers and system administrators ✓ Minimize Divergence between development and production ✓ Dynamically Scalable without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices ✓ Service-Driven Approach – Availability of the contract ✓ Monitoring the distributed applications deployments for domain/application-specific logs/data, health information, or more statistics on modern cloud platforms ✓ Security (Authentication & Authorization) is addressed appropriately
