Here are some cloud design patterns that you should know as a senior engineer:

15. Retry Pattern:

Automatically retry failed operations to improve the chances of success.

14. Cache-Aside pattern:

Loading data into a cache on-demand to improve data access times and reduce server load.

13. Blue-Green Deployment pattern:

Deploying a new version of an application alongside the old one for easy rollback in case of issues.

12. Ambassador pattern:

Proxy managing communication between microservices.

11. Backends for Frontends pattern:

Specialized backend services for different user interfaces (frontends).

10. Bulkhead pattern:

Isolating components to prevent cascading failures in a system.

9. Circuit Breaker pattern:

Limiting requests to prevent system overload during a failure or downtime.

8. CQRS pattern:

Separating read and write operations for improved system scalability.

7. Event Sourcing pattern:

Capturing and storing every state-changing event for data reconstruction.

6. Materialized View pattern:

Precomputing and storing query results for faster data retrieval.

5. Publisher-Subscriber pattern:

Communication pattern where senders notify many receivers.

4. Rate Limiting pattern:

Restricting the rate of incoming requests to a system.

3. Saga pattern:

Coordinating a series of transactions to maintain data consistency.

2. Sidecar pattern:

Independent service extends the functionality of a main application.

1. Throttling pattern:

Controlling the rate of processing to prevent resource exhaustion.

Build reliable and scalable applications by studying proven cloud design patterns.
