This document summarizes a presentation about building microservices with Vert.x. Vert.x is a toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM that is event-driven, non-blocking, and polyglot. It allows for building microservices that are small, independently deployable services that communicate through lightweight messaging. The presentation discusses Vert.x concepts like verticles, the event bus, and its reactive nature. It also describes the speaker's experience using Vert.x at Malmberg over three years, including challenges faced and solutions used. Resources for learning more about Vert.x are provided at the end.
