Talk: WebSockets, Reactive APIs and Microservices

Track: Modern API Architecture - Tools, Methods, Tactics

Location: Salon E

Day of week: Wednesday

Duration: 1:40pm - 2:30pm

Today we have new protocols, such as WebSocket and HTTP/2, asynchronous APIs, such as ReactiveStreams, and microservice architectures. All of these bring the promise of high scalability, resiliency, and ease of development. But do they really deliver? What can evolve when the latest web protocols are leveraged fully with an asynchronous API design? In this session, we will look at these questions and explore what can be done and what effect different techniques may have.
