Implementing Microservices with Scala and Akka - by Vaughn Vernon

Abstract:
What are microservices all about, and are they practical for your enterprise? How granular should a microservice be, and what approach should you use to determine the proper and appropriate boundaries between microservices? How can each microservice communicate with others in a distributed computing environment to correctly fulfill business objectives? How can my microservices adhere to the tenets of reactive software, being responsive, resilient, elastic, and message driven? Using Scala and Akka to implement microservices, this talk will demonstrate how you can implement microservices while answering all of the questions posed, and more. The talk will show you how to carefully craft microservices and to model the business domain within. You will experience advanced use of Akka throughout.

all the DDD guys (Eric Evans, Vaughn Vernon etc.) need to be played at 1.5x speed

Really enjoy this talk, what is micro service, how big it should be is a really mean thing.

I don't get the point of the UDP base registry service. Why dont' use Akka capabilites for that?

maybe i am missing something, but what problem are microservices trying to solve here? couldn't you just make a monolith using the same interfaces (just internally), skip all the overhead and have identical functionality with less resource requirements?

Hi, does anyone knows where is the source code for the example that he showed?

Akka actors are meant as a low-level concurrency abstraction. If someone builds a high-level architecture around a web of actors chatting to each other and hopes that engineers will be able to reason about the system... Well... There is no explicit flow of business input (events/requests) being processed into the desired output.

This talk is a real waste of the viewer's time.
