In this webinar slideshow, Typesafe Deputy CTO Viktor Klang looks into the world of microservices to see how these architectures emerge from the constraints of reality. We'll review the problems imposed by reality, and show how they can not only be solved, but how the constraints free us from misconceptions that are otherwise very easy to acquire.
We will also explore how distributed systems are at the heart of microservices-based architectures and how communication shapes the structure, behavior and development of the software.
Reactive Streams 1.0.0 is now live, and so are our implementations in Akka Streams 1.0 and Slick 3.0.
Reactive Streams is an engineering collaboration between heavy hitters in the area of streaming data on the JVM. With the Reactive Streams Special Interest Group, we set out to standardize a common ground for achieving statically-typed, high-performance, low latency, asynchronous streams of data with built-in non-blocking back pressure—with the goal of creating a vibrant ecosystem of interoperating implementations, and with a vision of one day making it into a future version of Java.
Akka (recent winner of “Most Innovative Open Source Tech in 2015”) is a toolkit for building message-driven applications. With Akka Streams 1.0, Akka has incorporated a graphical DSL for composing data streams, an execution model that decouples the stream’s staged computation—it’s “blueprint”—from its execution (allowing for actor-based, single-threaded and fully distributed and clustered execution), type safe stream composition, an implementation of the Reactive Streaming specification that enables back-pressure, and more than 20 predefined stream “processing stages” that provide common streaming transformations that developers can tap into (for splitting streams, transforming streams, merging streams, and more).
Slick is a relational database query and access library for Scala that enables loose-coupling, minimal configuration requirements and abstraction of the complexities of connecting with relational databases. With Slick 3.0, Slick now supports the Reactive Streams API for providing asynchronous stream processing with non-blocking back-pressure. Slick 3.0 also allows elegant mapping across multiple data types, static verification and type inference for embedded SQL statements, compile-time error discovery, and JDBC support for interoperability with all existing drivers.

Part 2: What you should know about Elasticity, Scalability and Location Transparency in Reactive systems
In the second of three webinars with live Q/A, we look into how organizations with Reactive systems are able to adaptively scale in an elastic, infrastructure-efficient way, and the role that location transparency plays in distributed Reactive systems. Reactive Streams contributor and deputy CTO at Typesafe, Inc., Viktor Klang reviews what you should know about:
How Reactive systems enable near-linear scalability in order to increase performance proportionally to the allocation of resources, avoiding the constraints of bottlenecks or synchronization points within the system
How elasticity builds upon scalability in Reactive systems to automatically adjust the throughput of varying demand when resources are added or removed proportionally and dynamically at runtime.
The role of location transparency in distributed computing (in systems running on a single node or on a cluster) and how of decoupling runtime instances from their references can embrace network constraints like partial failure, network splits, dropped messages and more.
In the third and final webinar in the series with Jonas Bonér, we go over resiliency, failures vs errors, isolation (and containment), delegation and replication in Reactive systems.

Microservices, Monoliths, SOA and How We Got HereLightbend
The Enterprise Architect’s Intro to Microservices - Part 1 of 3
**Find upcoming webinar details here: https://www.lightbend.com/community#filter:webinar**
If you’re tired of battling a monolithic enterprise system that’s difficult to scale and maintain––and even harder to understand––then this webinar series is for you. In these three expert sessions, we go over the details of why a microservice-based architecture that consists of small, independent services is far more flexible than the traditional all-in-one systems that continue to dominate today’s enterprise landscape.
In Part 1, Enterprise Advocate Kevin Webber will review a bit of history of application development, from the early days of monoliths and SOA to the emergence of Microservice architectures. We will review the drawbacks of heritage architectures and how the principles of Reactive can help you build isolated services that are scalable, resilient to failure, and combine with other services to form a cohesive whole.
In the next two webinars, we go deeper into the characteristics of Reactive Microservices, and the considerations how to build complete systems, presented by Lightbend CTO and Akka creator, Jonas Bonér.
Lightbend Training for Scala, Akka, Play Framework and Apache SparkLightbend
Having a team adopt new technologies and approaches to software development is a daunting task. New paradigms and unfamiliar ontologies headline the biggest risks to having a team be productive quickly. Lightbend (formerly Typesafe) has a suite of training classes to help you adopt whatever components of the Lightbend Reactive Platform you need to be responsive to you customers by creating resilient and elastic applications.
In this webinar, we will discuss the philosophies and structures of Lightbend's training materials for Scala, Akka, Play Framework, and Spark.
In this presentation, Akka Team Lead and author Roland Kuhn presents the freshly released final specification for Reactive Streams on the JVM. This work was done in collaboration with engineers representing Netflix, Red Hat, Pivotal, Oracle, Typesafe and others to define a standard for passing streams of data between threads in an asynchronous and non-blocking fashion. This is a common need in Reactive systems, where handling streams of "live" data whose volume is not predetermined.
The most prominent issue facing the industry today is that resource consumption needs to be controlled such that a fast data source does not overwhelm the stream destination. Asynchrony is needed in order to enable the parallel use of computing resources, on collaborating network hosts or multiple CPU cores within a single machine.
Here we'll review the mechanisms employed by Reactive Streams, discuss the applicability of this technology to a variety of problems encountered in day to day work on the JVM, and give an overview of the tooling ecosystem that is emerging around this young standard.
Lessons Learned From PayPal: Implementing Back-Pressure With Akka Streams And...Lightbend
Akka Streams and its amazing handling of streaming with back-pressure should be no surprise to anyone. But it takes a couple of use cases to really see it in action - especially in use cases where the amount of work continues to increase as you’re processing it. This is where back-pressure really shines.
In this talk for Architects and Dev Managers by Akara Sucharitakul, Principal MTS for Global Platform Frameworks at PayPal, Inc., we look at how back-pressure based on Akka Streams and Kafka is being used at PayPal to handle very bursty workloads.
In addition, Akara will also share experiences in creating a platform based on Akka and Akka Streams that currently processes over 1 billion transactions per day (on just 8 VMs), with the aim of helping teams adopt these technologies. In this webinar, you will:
*Start with a sample web crawler use case to examine what happens when each processing pass expands to a larger and larger workload to process.
*Review how we use the buffering capabilities in Kafka and the back-pressure with asynchronous processing in Akka Streams to handle such bursts.
*Look at lessons learned, plus some constructive “rants” about the architectural components, the maturity, or immaturity you’ll expect, and tidbits and open source goodies like memory-mapped stream buffers that can be helpful in other Akka Streams and/or Kafka use cases.

region of ports
Flanders is a region of ports. Our four seaports, Antwerp,
Zeebrugge, Ghent and Oostende, are gateways to the Eu-
ropean hinterland. Geographically speaking, sixty percent
of the European purchasing power is located within 500
kilometers of Flanders. Antwerp, Ghent, Oostende and
Zeebrugge are situated a mere 100 kilometers apart. But
what’s more: Paris is at barely 300 kilometers, the Ruhr
Area at 150 kilometers at most. Brussels, the centre of
international networks and home to the headquarters of
the European Commission, the European Council and the
European Parliament is at the same time the capital of
the Flemish Region and of Belgium itself.
In 2013 the ports of Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Ghent and
Oostende together with the Flemish Port Community
and the Flemish government agreed to strengthen
their international competitiveness in a bottom-up
collaboration strategy called Flanders Port Area. The ports
in Flanders are competitors but join forces whenever
possible to guarantee their customers maximum added
value. Flanders’ ports are working together in economic
and commercial domains, logistics, the development of
operational tools and on policy themes. The Flemish
government plays a supporting and stimulating role.
Its assets and joint strategies turn Flanders Port Area
into a valuable hub of the European transport network
and make it the most efficient way to reach 500,000,000
European Consumers.
