Managing Consistency, State and Identity in Distributed Microservices

Join us on March 6th, where Disney Streaming Services will be sponsoring the Reactive Group New York Meet-up featuring keynote speaker and Principal Systems Engineer at Lightbend, Duncan DeVore.

Agenda:

6:00 – 6:30pm – Check-in, drinks, pizza, and networking
6:30 – 7:15pm – Presentation: “Managing Consistency, State and Identity in Distributed Microservices” – Duncan DeVore, Lightbend
7:15 – 7:45pm – Q&A

Abstract:

Building distributed Java applications is markedly different from the traditional monolithic design. In this new modular landscape, we face many challenges: parallelism, asynchronous boundaries, state management, identity management and consistency deficiencies, to name a few. Of all these problems, consistency, state management, and identity management can be particularly challenging. In this session, we will discuss the ins and outs of dealing with modular JVM based application consistency, distributed state, and identity coherency with techniques like idempotency, eventual and casual consistency, dealing with CAP theorem, single source of truth and distributed domain design.
