Nikhil Barthwal: Implementing an Event-Driven Microservices Architecture in a Functional Language
After the talk we have time for drinks and conversations.
Abstract
Web services are typically stateless entities, that need to operate at scale at large. Functional paradigm can be used to model these web services work and offer several benefits like scalability, productivity, and correctness.
At Jet.com, we implemented our Event-Driven Microservices in a F#, a statically typed managed functional language for the .NET platform. This allowed us to scale our business rapidly, making us one of the fastest growing companies in the world and ultimately getting acquired by Walmart for $3.3 billion.
This talk describes the challenges we faced in our implementation and how we solved them. It covers topics like their Microservices, Event-Sourcing, CQRS, Deployment patterns, etc. The objective of the talk is show how to create a scalable & highly distributed web service in functional language, and demonstrate how various characteristics of functional paradigm capture the behavior of such services architecture very naturally.
