Stateless == Useless

What can you do without state?
• result = (input) -> convert(input);
• Make it the callers problem:
– hotPotato = (input) -> convert(input);
doSomethingWith(hotPotato);
• Externalize the state
– Consistency
– Performance

Somebody Else’s Problem

Somebody Else’s Problem

• We’ve been trying to reduce
“boiler-plate” since we invented
boilers.
9
The Relentless Drive To Allow Developers to Focus on “Business Logic”

• The very idea of separating
– Core language
– Runtime libraries
10
The Relentless Drive To Allow Developers to Focus on “Business Logic”

• Dependency Injection
– Spring 1.0 2002
– JSF 1.0 2004
• @Inject 2009
• Containerization 2014
• Containerization and Cloud 2015

The Logical Extension of Dependency Injection

Convinced you need state?? OK – now where does it go?

What do you need from a store of state?
• Durability
• Reliability/HA
• Scalability
• Throughput
• In-Place Processing
• Querying/Aggregations
• Events
• Access with programming language of choice
13

What do you need from a store of state?
• On-demand provisioning/elasticity
• ”Serverless” operating paradigm
• Managed by vendor
• Pay as you go/utility
computing pricing
• Smooth on-ramp
– Local development
– Cloud development

…in the cloud?

What do you want from a store of state?
• Native language support
• What’s wrong with Map, Dictionary, Hash Container, Associative Array?
• It has everything; rows (entries), columns (inferred by fields)
• And its key-centric: I think I can scale this puppy…
• …but its stuck on the heap!

Map: if you can dream it, you can do it…
• HashMap:
– Hashing semantics, in-process, not thread-safe
• Collections.synchronizedMap(map):
– Hashing semantics, in-process, thread-safe, coarse contention
• ConcurrentHashMap
– Hashing semantics, in-process, thread-safe granular contention
16
H

Map: if you can dream it, you can do it…
• CloudMap:
– Hashing semantics, highly distributed, multi process & thread!
– Map-based API that we plan to produce as one of the State Service APIs
17
Introducing CloudMap
H

Map: what you give us for free…
• Key-centric; get(k), put(k, v), remove(k) …
• HashMap: table[hash(key) % table.length] = new Entry(key, value)
• ConcurrentHashMap: lock(table[hash(key) % table.length]) && assign
• DistributedHashMap : hash(key) -> partition/bucket -> member
– Common approach: consistent hashing (hash(key) -> member)

• Distributed persistence (patented)
– Shared storage is not required…and discouraged
– Supports snapshots and ‘archiving’ distributed state
