Cloud Design Patterns

Microsoft's free catalogue of more than forty distributed systems patterns, from circuit breaker and saga to CQRS and queue-based load leveling, each with the problem it solves, the issues to weigh and when not to use it. Despite the Azure branding the patterns are technology agnostic, and the list is the source for most pattern sections on roadmap.sh.
