Functional Distributed Systems Beyond Request - Response

Explore a 35-minute conference talk from Strange Loop that challenges traditional distributed application models. Delve into event-driven patterns as alternatives to request/response architectures, learning how they can create more composable, scalable, and resilient systems. Discover how shifting to composable streams can simplify business logic implementation and facilitate the integration of machine learning. Gain insights from real-world examples of event-driven systems, understand the unification of event-driven and request/response patterns through shared schemas, and learn how cloud-native patterns can enhance system adaptability, reliability, and scalability. Benefit from the speaker's experience in migrating monolithic systems to cloud-native distributed architectures serving millions of users.
