On Thursday the 14th April we are inviting all interested to join a talk about Microservices by Micael Vitz and Joy Clark from InnoQ.
We assemble at 18:30 pm and the talk "Microservices with Clojure" starts at 19:00 pm until 20:30 pm.
Afterwards we are looking forward to discussions and socializing while enjoying food and cold beverages.
Abstract:
Microservices are especially characterized by their autonomy: the services are as loosely coupled as possible. For this reason, a microservice architecture allows different technologies to be deployed that are exactly suitable for the problem which needs to be solved and the skill set of the software engineer. In such an environment, the benefits of a modern language like Clojure can be invaluable: short and precise code, concurrent processing, and direct support for asynchronous programming.
However, there are also particular challenges when dealing with microservices: How can a project be created with as little overhead as possible? How can services communicate with each other? How can I protect my service when other services fail? And once a service has been created, how can I deploy and monitor it?
In this talk we will introduce the participants to Clojure step by step and, with the help of an example, introduce the Clojure libraries which can be used in order to tackle the previously stated challenges.
