Jan 16 BK Kotlin @ Fuzz! Annyce Davis, Mohit Sarveiya - serverless/channels/flow

Join us on Thursday January 16th at Fuzz in Williamsburg for the next Brooklyn Kotlin. We have two amazing speakers lined up: Annyce Davis and Mohit Sarveiya! We'll be learning about Serverless with Kotlin and Channels/Flow. As always we'll also have some food and drink.

Talks:

Simply Serverless: Annyce Davis

Is your team using lambdas? Do you hear your backend developers talking about serverless applications? Curious to learn more? If so, this talk is for you. Effective serverless architectures require less backend code, less complexity, less risk, and less tech debt. But how is that possible? This talk aims to answer that question for you.
We'll cover:

• What is serverless
• When might you use it, and
• How can you develop a serverless app with Kotlin
  Serverless application design is becoming more and more prevalent. Now is the time to understand this powerful shift in backend development, simply.

Channels & Flows in Practice: Mohit Sarveiya

In this talk, Mohit will present on how to use constructs such as actors, channels and flows in various use cases. These use cases are modeling streams that are hot or cold, multicasting, polling, handling errors and testing. A Channel is similar to a blocking queue or a subject from RxJava. There are different types of channels that fit different use cases. On the other hand, a Flow represents a cold stream. We’ll look at how they work and thier APIs for consuming and producing a stream. I also cover how to go by testing your code using the coroutines testing library that is provided. I’ll share various helper extensions that you could use to improve your testing. By the end of this talk, you will have expanded your toolset for solving problems using Coroutines.
