Zahari Dichev at #ScalaUA - Backpressure over the wire - when things go wrong

Zahari Dichev explores how backpressure is achieved in Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Akka, and introduces StreamRefs for network boundaries.

Zahari Dichev at #ScalaUA - Backpressure over the wire - when things go wrong Frequent bursts of high load bring the need for today’s systems to be engineered for stability and elasticity. One aspect of designing reliable and scalable systems is backpressure. In this lecture, we take​ a look at how Kafka, RabbiMq and Akka achieve that and point out some of the problems that have recently been fixed in these products. We conclude with an overview of StreamRefs - a great new way to bring backpressure streams over network boundaries. Expect deep dives into the internals of Akka Streams, protocols such as TCP and AMQP, lots of code examples and a great deal of fun. Follow ScalaUA Conference on Twitter: twitter.com/@ScalaUA_Conf
