Creating polyglot and scalable applications on the jvm using Vert.x
The document discusses the creation of polyglot and scalable applications on the JVM using Vert.x, highlighting multi-language support and the importance of non-blocking, event-driven architectures. It provides an overview of Vert.x components, modules, and services for efficient resource utilization and concurrency. The presentation concludes with a demonstration of an 'office events' application that illustrates the capabilities of Vert.x with various languages and a recommendation for using JSON for messaging.

- 14. Vert.x Components Event Loop 1 Background Pool Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core Services Event Bus Module Module Module Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12 Go through all the different components of Vert.x
- 15. Vert.x Core Event Loop 1 Background Pool • Must be implemented by all languages Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core • Core services must be called direct Services • Example Services Event Bus • TCP/SSL, HTTP/HTTPS, WebSockets, Module Module Module Logging, SockJS and more Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12 Core services must be called directly, no need for sending messages
- 16. Verticle Background Pool • Unit of deployment in Vert.x Event Loop 1 Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core • Can contain other scripts Services • Can contain libraries Event Bus • Can start other verticles Module Module Module Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12 - Demo basic verticle
- 17. Module Background Pool • Modules communicate using messages Event Loop 1 Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core • A public module repository Services • https://github.com/vert-x/vertx-mods/ Event Bus tree/gh-pages/mods Module Module Module Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12
- 18. Worker Verticle Background Pool • For tasks that require blocking Event Loop 1 Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core • For tasks that take a lot of computation Services • Uses thread of the background pool Event Bus • They are never executed by more than one Module Module Module thread Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12
- 19. Verticle or Module Background Pool • Verticle is easy to use Event Loop 1 Verticle Verticle Worker Worker Core • Verticle needs to be configured with its Services classpath when running Event Bus • A module is a package of vert.x stuff complete with dependencies. Module Module Module Event Loop 2 dinsdag 30 oktober 12
- 20. Communicating between modules • Send messages over the Event bus • Vert.x will automatically convert messages between modules Java JsonObject Groovy Map Ruby Hash JavaScript Object Python Hash dinsdag 30 oktober 12 Messages can contain contain raw types, but JSON is recommended to be used for information sending using messages.
- 21. Threads Event loop • Amount equals number of cores • Verticles/modules are assigned to an event loop Background Pool • A thread pool for worker verticles • Actions can block or take longer CPU time dinsdag 30 oktober 12

It is used to show modules, verticles and worker verticles in different languages.
- 23. Module layout • Module naming: prefix.<name>-v<version> • mod.json • scripts or classes • lib/ - libraries required by the module dinsdag 30 oktober 12 mod.json is the configuration for the module containing the main item, worker or not and some other options.
- 24. Configuration • Pass configuration when deploying a verticle or module • Use a json object • json is used according the language as discussed before dinsdag 30 oktober 12
- 25. Events • Publish/Subscribe • Peer-to-Peer • Replying to messages • Distributed event-bus dinsdag 30 oktober 12 More info about event usage in Vert.x
- 26. Logging • Default uses java utils logging • Use other logging framework: log4j for example • <home>/bin/vertx • DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS="-Dorg.vertx.logger-delegate-factory-class- name=org.vertx.java.core.logging.impl.Log4jLogDelegateFactory" • Add the library to the vertx lib folder • Create a log4j.properties file dinsdag 30 oktober 12
