Fast but not Loose - Typesafe Clients in a Distributed Service Architecture
Offered By: GOTO Conferences via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the evolution of Gilt Groupe's service architecture in this conference talk from GOTO Aarhus 2013. Dive into the journey from Ruby to JVM with hashmaps and JSON, and finally to a typesafe, futures-based strong client model implemented in Scala. Learn about the challenges and benefits of implementing a strong client model in a distributed service architecture. Discover how Gilt Groupe addressed issues of binary compatibility across hundreds of services and ensured compatibility across multiple versions of the client stack. Gain insights into the technical and non-functional requirements of Gilt's innovative online shopping platform, which handles thousands of visitors within seconds during daily sales launches. Evaluate the pros and cons of this architectural approach and consider whether it would be suitable for similar high-traffic, time-sensitive applications.
