A Data-Centric Approach to Distributed Application Architecture

Overview Application architects design distributed applications based largely on their computing resources and network infrastructure. The goal is to ensure that users have ready access to computing resources, and that those computing resources have access to application data. While the object-oriented development approach is useful for developing applications in general, a data-centric approach is better for designing and developing distributed applications. This paper introduces the data-centric approach, explaining how to design with data-centric principles and implement data-centric applications. One will learn how data-centric design and data-oriented implementation can enable more robust and scalable distributed systems that also are easier to maintain and enhance over time.
