Drinking from the Stream: How to Use Messaging Platforms for Scalability & Performance
Most mission-critical systems have distributed elements or are entirely distributed, resulting in a number of challenges: performance, scalability, reliability, resilience...the eight fallacies of distributed computing are alive and well!
Messaging platforms are often used to solve these problems and increase the "ilities", but they don't come without a few complexities of their own. Come to this session to learn how to leverage open source solutions like Spring Cloud Stream, RabbitMQ, & Apache Kafka to maximize your distributed systems' capabilities while minimizing complexity. All examples will be coded *live & in real-time*!
Building Reactive Pipelines
In this session, learn how Project Reactor enables you to create scalable reactive apps, how streaming platforms help, & how Spring Cloud Stream leverages both to provide fully reactive pipelines for system-wide (ridiculous!) scalability.
_The presenter will code all examples live & in real-time_.
