CT-SPIN #113: Reactive Systems, Microservices and The 12-factor App
Details
About the Talk
According to the Reactive Manifesto (http://reactivemanifesto.org), "Reactive Systems" are auto-scalable and rely on asynchronous message-passing.
A "Microservice Architecture" consists of a set of narrowly focussed, independently deployable, software services.
Finally, "The 12-Factor App" (http://12factor.net) is a methodology for building software-as-a-service and web apps.
We discuss the overlap of these recommendations, and how they relate to cloud computing, Docker, NoSQL and Node.js.
