Reactive Microservices with Micronaut & Open Cloud-Native Java
Description changed:
Join the LJC at IBM for an evening of talks this May.
In our first talk, Alvaro Sanchez-Mariscal will be discussing Reactive microservices with Micronaut.
Micronaut is a modern, JVM-based, full stack microservices framework designed for building modular, easily testable microservice applications. Micronaut is developed by the creators of Grails and takes inspiration from lessons learnt over the years building real-world applications from monoliths to microservices using Spring, Spring Boot and Grails.
This session covers the current features of Micronaut for building microservices, such as:
– Dependency Injection and Inversion of Control (IoC).
– Configuration system.
– HTTP services.
– Cloud and serverless deployments.
– Management & Monitoring.
Bio:
Álvaro is a passionate developer and agile enthusiast with over 18 years of experience. He now works as a Software Engineer at Object Computing (OCI), the company leading Groovy, Grails and Micronaut open-source development.
Before working at OCI, he spent some years working in different industries like gambling games (Odobo) and fintech (4Finance). Prior to that, he created his own company, Salenda, in 2005, a software factory and Atlassian Solution Partner headquartered in Madrid, Spain. Previously, he worked at companies like IBM BCS, BEA Systems or Sun Microsystems.
Álvaro is a speaker at conferences like GeeCON, JavaLand, JavaZone and Codemotion. He has also written several Grails plugins, including Spring Security REST, which provides stateless, RESTful, token-based authentication for Grails using OAuth 2 and JWT.
In our second talk, Graham Charters will give a presentation and live demonstration of how the MicroProfile initiative helps you build cloud-native Java microservices on open source, open standard APIs, and avoid lock-in to a single company.
Conventional wisdom has it that Java EE is a bad starting point for building Java Microservices, but conventional thinking isn't relevant to the new wave of applications. It isn't that Java EE isn't a good choice (after all most microservice frameworks build on parts of it), it is that it hasn't been growing fast enough to address the problems Microservice architecture present. In 2016, several Java EE server companies, and Java user groups got together to start the MicroProfile initiative to help kick start solving these new problems. Join this session to learn how these new open source, open standard API's can provide a platform for Java based Microservices that doesn't tie the success of your server to a single company.
