J-Fall 2017 Speaker Lucas Jellema – Event Bus as Backbone for Decoupled Microservice Choreography
Microservices are independent, encapsulated entities that produce meaningful results and business functionality in tentative collaboration. Events and pub/sub are great for allowing such decoupled interaction. Using Apache Kafka as robust, distributed, real-time, high volume event bus, this session demonstrates how microservices packaged with Docker and implemented in Java, Node, Python and SQL collaborate unknowingly. The microservices respond to social (media) events – courtesy of IFTTT – and publish results to multiple channels. The event bus operates across cloud services and on premises platforms such as Kubernetes: both the bus and the microservicescan run anywhere. A microservices platform is discussed with generic capabilities.
