Practical Microservices, Practical Whiskey
Jonathan Schabowsky discusses using microservices in an event-driven architecture with asynchronous messaging.
-
Distributed Systems Theory for Practical Engineers
Alvaro Videla reviews the different models: asynchronous vs. synchronous distributed systems, message passing vs shared memory communication, failure detectors and leader election problems, etc.
-
No REST - Architecting Real-Time Bulk Async APIs
Michael Uzquiano talks about how to scale an API to accept many items, how to evolve the Evolution of ReST over HTTP to transactional, asynchronous bulk operations and using polling.
-
What We Talk about When We Talk about Distributed Systems
Alvaro Videla reviews distributed systems: async/sync, message passing, shared memory, failure detectors, leader election, consensus and different kinds of replication, and recommends related books.
-
Test-Driven Microservices: System Confidence
Russ Miles shows how we can build production-level confidence in our polyglot microservices by applying the test-driven approach to synchronous (REST) and asynchronous (Messaging) services.
-
Crossroads of Asynchrony and Graceful Degradation
Nitesh Kant describes how embracing asynchrony in Netflix applications, from networking to business processing, creates gracefully degrading and highly resilient applications.
-
No Free Lunch, Indeed: Three Years of Microservices at SoundCloud
Phil Calcado shares the toolkit and strategy SoundCloud uses to keep its microservices explosion manageable, dealing with operations overhead, DevOps, breaking changes and asynchronous behaviors.
-
Protocols - The Glue for Applications
Torben Hoffmann talks about how to design systems with asynchronous message passing between processes that do not share any memory.
-
Asynchronous Patterns for Client, Server, and IoT
Andrea Giammarchi presents different asynchronous patterns and best practices for the Web, the server, and the embedded IoT platforms.
-
core.async: Concurrency Without Callbacks
Stuart Halloway discusses the design of core.async and some of its capabilities: channels, put and take, go blocks, alts! and alts!!, timeouts, showing their use through code.
-
Microservice Challenges
Fred George discusses two challenges developing microservices: the asynchronous messaging bus and using functional programming which may be at odds with this approach.
-
ASPIRE:Exploiting Asynchronous Parallelism in Iterative Algorithms using a Relaxed Consistency-based DSM
The authors present a relaxed memory consistency model and consistency protocol that tolerate communication latency and minimize the use of stale values, outperforming other models.
