Reactive in practice: web services with Scala and AWS

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

In this talk you will discover how to create reactive web services with Akka HTTP, Slick and AWS. In particular, Matt will focus on how to design, implement and deploy a RESTful web service.

Matt wants to show you that qualities such as responsiveness, resilience and elasticity can be defined and, perhaps more importantly, quantified. Furthermore, he hopes to convince you that the design constraints imposed by REST enable you to achieve them.

Matt will explore the following topics:

• Design: resources, methods, identifiers, headers, pagination, and versioning.

• Implementation: routes, path matchers, tables, queries, and database configuration.

• Deployment: the aws cli and cloud formation, auto-scaling groups, and cloud init.

This talk should be of interest to you if you are writing web services for internal or public consumption.
