No Blocking IO in Microservices
We will kick off this meetup with a brief introduction at 6:30pm, followed by two talks on Vert.x and Surviving Microservices.
Vert.x - non-blocking microservices in Finance
Fuzz is a RBS distinguished engineer, currently working on blockchain related work in Payments. The previous fourteen years he worked in Investment Banking, fixing legacy systems and building new ones (FX Options and Risk). Prior to that, he worked in the areas of real-time 3D avatars, AI and Defence. He is an avid coder and loves learning new languages, environments and tools.Fuzz is a dad, expecting baby number two in May this year!
Surviving Microservices
How do you scale to hundreds of Microservices? How do you survive the dangers of poison messages and cascading system failure? How can you keep your system healthy under continuous deployment.
The microservice architecture is a fundamentally more flexible approach to handling rapidly changing business requirements, but it is not all rainbows and unicorns. Message-oriented systems have their own weird and wonderful ways of failing.
This talk walks you through many of the failure modes you'll see in production, and provides practical advice for dealing with them. You won't be able to eradicate failure, but you can survive it!
