Turning Request/Response on its Head
10:20/11:00
These days software is increasingly microservices-based yet with the advantages also come new challenges. To account for these we have put in place patterns such as retries, circuit-breakers, service-discovery and caching, but these assume and are built around a request/response invocation style. In this talk I’ll challenge that assumption and show how when we instead use an event-driven approach, we can address the challenges of distributed systems in a different way. Just as recursive code can be more elegant that imperative, event-driven designs can be better than request/response.
