This book focuses on the development of cloud-native applications. A cloud-native ap
plication is architected to take advantage of specific engineering practices that have
proven successful in some of the world’s largest and most successful web properties.
Many of these practices are unconventional, yet the need for unprecedented scalability
and efficiency inspired development and drove adoption in the relatively small number
of companies that truly needed them. After an approach has been adopted successfully
enough times, it becomes a pattern. In this book, a pattern is an approach that can be
duplicated to produce an expected outcome. Use of any of the patterns included in this
book will impact the architecture of your application, some in small ways, some in large
ways.
Historically, many of these patterns have been risky and expensive to implement, and
it made sense for most companies to avoid them. That has changed. Cloud computing
platforms now offer services that dramatically lower the risk and cost by shielding the
application from most of the complexity. The desired benefit of using the pattern is the
same, but the cost and complexity of realizing that benefit is lower. The majority of
modern applications can now make practical use of these heretofore seldom used
patterns.

This book deals with a number of mathematical topics that are of great importance in the study of classical econometrics. There is a lengthy chapter on matrix algebra, which takes the reader from the most elementary aspects to the partitioned inverses, characteristic roots and vectors, symmetric, and orthogonal and positive (semi) definite... |
