SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Developing Microservices for PaaS with Spring and Cloud Foundry

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 24, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speaker: Matt Stine

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/developing-microservices-for-paas-with-spring-and-cloud-foundry

Marc Andressen has famously said "Software is eating the world." What does that mean? We take it to mean that multiple industries with historically entrenched leaders are being disrupted by businesses built around a software core. These software factories are characterized by: tight feedback loops rapid iteration horizontal scaling mobile-first UX continuous delivery These factors have contributed to drive a change in how we approach infrastructure, which has taken the lead in adapting to meet these needs with the move to the cloud, and Platform as a Service (PaaS) offerings like Cloud Foundry have raised the level of abstraction to a focus on an ecosystem of applications and services. However, most applications are still developed as if we're living in the previous generation of both business and infrastructure: the monolithic application. Microservices - small, loosely coupled applications that follow the Unix philosophy of ""doing one thing well"" - represent the application development side of enabling rapid, iterative development, horizontal scale, polyglot clients, and continuous delivery. They also enable us to scale application development and eliminate long term commitments to a single technology stack. While microservices are simple, they are certainly not easy. It's recently been said that "microservices are not a free lunch." Interestingly enough, if you look at the concerns typically expressed about microservices, you'll find that they are exactly the challenges that a PaaS is intended to address. So while microservices do not necessarily imply cloud (and vice versa), there is in fact a symbiotic relationship between the two, with each approach somehow compensating for the limitations of the other, much like the practices of eXtreme Programming do the same. This session will describe architectural patterns for developing microservices:

  • Service Decomposition
  • API Gateways
  • Stateless / Shared-Nothing
  • Apps Configuration and Backing Service
  • Consumption
  • Fault Tolerance

Along the way we'll see how to leverage technologies such as Spring Boot and Reactor to develop microservices targeted at Cloud Foundry.

SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Running Your Spring Apps in the Cloud

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 24, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speaker: Cornelia Davis

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/running-your-spring-apps-in-the-cloud

The Spring Trader application was debuted at SpringOne 2GX in 2012 and presented an application that demonstrates a multitude of Pivotal Application Fabric components working together – tcServer, RabbitMQ, SQLFire and Gemfire. In this session we will take that application and make (a few) modifications (mostly to config) to get it running on the same components in the cloud, specifically on the Cloud Foundry PaaS. We’ll show you how to use the Spring Cloud project to configure the deployment, how to leverage a cloud services catalog, how to implement a cross-site scripting solution (and why), how to do session state caching and we’ll discuss (the dangers of) auto reconfiguration. If you bring a laptop you can have your own instance of the app running by the end of the session.

SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Developer Tooling - What’s New and What’s Next

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 17, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speakers: Andy Clement, Martin Lippert

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/developer-tooling-whats-new-and-whats-next

In this talk we take a look at the latest changes and new features of the Spring Tool Suite, the Eclipse-based IDE that comes packed with support for Spring, Groovy, Grails, Gradle, AspectJ, and Cloud Foundry. We dive into the new ways the tooling makes it easy and convenient to develop enterprise applications that are based on Spring Boot and how the Spring Tool Suite integrates will all the different parts of Spring IO. In addition to that we will show the Java8 language tooling that comes as part of the Spring Tool Suite and demonstrate how to get the most out of Java8 in your projects. In the second part of this presentation we take a look at our vision for how we are going to move developer tooling itself into the cloud era. We provide a sneak peek under the hood of what we are working on for the next generation of developer tooling. We will demonstrate what future cloud-based developer might look like, how real Java language tooling can look and feel when running in a browser-based code editor, and show how every developer can smoothly migrate into this new world of cloud-based developer tooling. All this is based on Flux, a new project at eclipse.org, that aims at providing new and innovative ways to move towards cloud-based tooling in a smooth, seamless way.

SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Java 8 Language Capabilities, What's in it for you?

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 17, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speaker: Venkat Subramaniam

No Slides at speaker request

There is a good amount of excitement about the new version of Java. The big evolution of course is the lambda expressions. In this presentation we will dive into the language features in Java 8, take a look at some of their nuances, and look at ways to put them to good use. In addition to looking at lambdas we will also dive into the Streams capabilities and also some of the features in Java 8 that make all these possible.

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014.

Speakers: Thomas Darimont, Oliver Gierke, Christoph Strobl

Slides: http://www.slideshare.net/SpringCentral/whats-new-in-spring-data

This talk will give a broad overview of the new features introduced in the latest Spring Data release trains. We will cover recent additions and improvements in Spring Data Commons - the module that's shared amongst the store specific ones. We'll then delve into the latest and greatest features of individual store modules, like JPA, MongoDB, Neo4j, Solr and the community ones as well.

Webinar: Using Reactor for asych/non-blocking microservices

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 13, 2014 | ...

Speaker: Stephane Maldini, Pivotal

What is the role of asynchronous, non-blocking style-communication in microservices? Join Stephane Maldini for a revealing look at why reactive components are so important in an eventually-consistent approach like microservice architecture. When services own their data and are completely independent, having a (reactive) abstraction layer can perform a variety of roles. Being able to parallelize resources a microservice owns is an important technique. Another might be as an event bus, pulling state data from various micro services dynamically, checking against the cached, fairly up-to-date local copy. While a microservice has “all” the data it needs from other services to respond to a request, this data is not necessarily up-to-date—an important constraint to be prepared to accept. Stephane will also discuss other async use cases outside of microservices and how www.reactive-streams.org protocol support allows levels of portability across vendor implementations.

SpringOne2GX 2014 Replay: Gaining Application Lifecycle Intelligence

News | Pieter Humphrey | November 10, 2014 | ...

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2014 in Dallas, TX.

Speaker: Damien Dallimore, Splunk

Today we are facing an ever-increasing speed of product delivery. DevOps practices like continuous integration and deployment increase the dependence of systems like task tracking and source code repositories with build servers and test suites. With data moving rapidly through these different tools, it becomes challenging to maintain a grasp of the process, especially as the data is distributed and in a variety of formats. But it is still critical to maintain full visibility of the product development journey – from user stories to production data. By starting at the beginning of the Product Development Lifecycle, you can track a problem in production all the way back to the code that was checked into the build and the developer responsible for the code. In this session I'll demonstrate some of the ways in which Splunk software can be used to collect and correlate data throughout the various stages of the lifecycle of your code, to ultimately make you more efficient and make your code better.
