What does it means for our programs to be asynchronous and back pressured and why is it so important for scalable services?

During this talk, you will explore the following:

• Thread per request vs asynchronous services

• What back pressure is and how to do it all the way down to the network layer

• How to achieve all of this with Akka HTTP and Akka Streams

• How it compares to other tools for asynchronous programming e.g. CompletableFutures, Observables

Time permitting, you will also discover a demo on a networked application sending back pressure through the application layer, through TCP and into the client application.
