Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails (Paperback)
內容描述
Description
The Complete Guide to Building Highly
Scalable, Services-Based Rails Applications
Ruby on Rails
deployments are growing, and Rails is increasingly being adopted in larger
environments. Today, Rails developers and architects need better ways to
interface with legacy systems, move into the cloud, and scale to handle higher
volumes and greater complexity. In Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and
Rails Paul Dix introduces a powerful, services-based design approach
geared toward overcoming all these challenges. Using Dix’s techniques, readers
can leverage the full benefits of both Ruby and Rails, while overcoming the
difficulties of working with larger codebases and teams.
Dix demonstrates how to
integrate multiple components within an enterprise application stack; create
services that can easily grow and connect; and design systems that are easier
to maintain and upgrade. Key concepts are explained with detailed Ruby code
built using open source libraries such as ActiveRecord, Sinatra, Nokogiri, and
Typhoeus. The book concludes with coverage of security, scaling, messaging,
and interfacing with third-party services.
