The ultimate dependency manager shoot-out

The ultimate dependency manager shoot-out

Time: 
Thursday, 5:30pm - 6:20pm
Abstract: 

Working with micro-services is arguably the best part of OSGi development. However, everyone agrees that tracking service dependencies with the bare-bones OSGi API is not ideal. So, you pick one of the available dependency managers: either Declarative Services, Felix Dependency manager, Blueprint or iPojo.

 

But how do you pick the right one? Easy! After this shoot-out you’ll know all about the performance, usability and other aspects of the existing dependency managers. We show the strengths and weaknesses of the implementations side-by-side. How usable is the API? What about performance, does it scale beyond trivial amounts of services? Does it matter which OSGi framework you run the dependency manager in?

 

Make up your mind with the facts presented in this session.
