Keynote: Building a Microservices Platform
Featuring Viktor Klang
So. You've decided to build a system using a MicroServices Architecture? That sounds F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C! But wait a second… where do you start? What mindset, organization, components, infrastructure and scaffolding are you going to need? Together we'll go through what you're going to...

Keynote: How reality shapes microservice architectures
Featuring Viktor Klang
In this talk we're going to see how microservice architecture emerges from the constraints of reality. We will face the problems imposed by reality, and show how they can not only be solved, but how the constraints free us from misconceptions that are otherwise very easy to acquire. We will...

Failure: Deal with it!
Featuring Viktor Klang
As Scala programmers we solve a wide range of problems; from the tiniest bugfixes to the most interesting features—however no matter how flawless and well-tested and well-typed our code is, there is something that we should never forget: Reality—a place where things get FUBAR all the time—so lets...

The Promising Future of Akka
Featuring Viktor Klang
In this talk, Viktor Klang introduces the Futures in the Akka toolkit and show how one can utilize Futures to enable non-blocking composition of parallel sources of data or computations, to defer blocking not only until the end of the universe, but to get rid of it completely.

Simpler Scalability, Fault-Tolerance, Concurrency & Remoting through Actors
Featuring Jonas Bonér and Viktor Klang
We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
