Practical non-blocking microservices in Java 8

Description:

We will show how to write application in Java 8 that do not waste resources and which can maximize effective utilization of CPU/RAM. There will be presented comparison of blocking and non-blocking approach for I/O and application services. Based on microservices implementing simple business logic in security/cryptography/payments domain, we will demonstrate following aspects:

· NIO at all edges of application

· popular libraries that support NIO

· single instance scalability

· performance metrics (incl. throughput and latency)

· resources utilization

· code readability with CompletableFuture

· application maintenance and debugging

All above based on our experiences gathered during development of software platforms at Oberthur Technologies R&D Poland.
