Reactive applications with Vert.x
Sunday - Mar 4 2:15 PM CST - JEFFERSON
We live, and operate in a world where our services do not need to be available 24/7, but also respond to surges in demand, and scale down when demands are less.
Reactive systems, and reactive architectures have arisen to address this very concern.
Vert.x is a ployglot toolkit that makes writing reactive applications on the JVM possible.
With a non-blocking, event driven architecture, Vert.x can help you scale your application, leveraging the multi-threaded nature of the JVM, and the multi-core abilities of your hardware.
In this session we will take a look at Vert.x, it's programming model and architecture.
We will write some code, and explore the ecosystem around Vert.x, as well as discuss some of the gotchas that you might come across as you develop Vert.x applications.

About Raju Gandhi
Raju is a software craftsman with almost 20 years of hands-on experience scoping, architecting, designing, implementing full stack applications.
He provides a 360 view of the development cycle, is proficient in a variety of programming languages and paradigms, experienced with software development methodologies, as well an expert in infrastructure and tooling.
He has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).
Raju is a published author, internationally known public speaker and trainer.
Raju can be found on Twitter as @looselytyped.
In his spare time, you will find Raju reading, playing with technology, or spending time with his wonderful (and significantly better) other half.
