EVENT DETAILS |
How does one choose to architect a system that has micro-service/REST api endpoints? While there are many solutions out there, some are better than others. Should state be held in a server side component? Generally we are told this is a bad practice, but is it? It's unclear & this confusion may lead to poor technology stack choices that are impossible or extremely hard to change later on as your system evolves in terms of demand & performance.
Asynchronous Reactive server side solutions can provide the performance requirements & and reliability needed by any infrastructure that we expect to be up 100% of the time (e.g. your telephone). Using Java one can create restful micro-services with Lagom & Akka Actors deployed on Kubernetes, which will provide an architectural solution that meets these expectations.
In this event, we will have an open panel discussing the architectures & solutions proposed above, featuring a few guest speakers: Hugh McKee - Author & expert on Akka Actors working at Lightbend (IBM Partner) & Mary Grygleski - Global Java Developer Advocate specializing in Reactive Systems.
Following the panel, Hugh will present his demonstration of an eCommerce Reactive system he gave at DevNexus earlier this year. Participants will have access to this github repository in order to follow along.
Attendees can expect to:
* Understand the fundamental of & how to program Lagom Microservices
* Explore how Akka Actors work & how to use them to connect with Lagom
* Use kubernetes to deploy the above.
* Garner insights about the possible pathways to Lightbend & IBM Reactive Platforms
