Building “Bootiful” Microservices with Spring
May 23
45 minutes
Talk
English

Abstract: We get it already! Microservices help you build smaller, singly-focused services, quicker. They scale out. They’re more agile because individual teams can deliver them at their own pace. They work well in the cloud because they’re smaller, and benefit from elastic, horizontal scaling. But what about the complexity? There’s a cost associated with adding services and coordinating the interactions between them. In this talk, we’ll look at Spring Cloud, which builds atop Spring Boot and the Netflix OSS stack, and see how it lets you easily integrate service-discovery, security, reliability patterns like the circuit breaker, and centralized and journaled property configuration (and more) to build resilient microservices that scale.

We’ll look at service discovery and registration with a Eureka service registry and Spring Cloud’s Eureka integration, centralized, journaled configuration with Spring Cloud’s Config server, refreshing bean configuration in-situ with the `@RefreshScope`, building an API gateway using Zuul and reactive programming, and isolating failure cascades using the Hystrix circuit-breaker.

What’s In Your Cloud?
May 23
45 minutes
Talk
English

Abstract: The promise of the cloud is the reduction of friction between development and deployment. It’s continuous delivery. It’s the ability to think about apps, not kernels. In this talk, we’ll look at how Cloud Foundry, the open-source PaaS from the Linux Foundation that underpins IBM’s BlueMix and HP’s Helion products, and serves large users like Baidu and NTT, can be used to deploy, scale, auto-heal, monitor and analyze applications. We’ll look at how to use the API to master your runtime and we’ll also look at the next generation of Cloud Foundry, code-named Lattice, and its Docker-first support.
