Building Reactive Microservices in Java

This report explains the benefits of creating microservices with reactive design—a method that takes advantage of modern CPU architectures and efficient resource utilization. You’ll learn how to build effective microservice systems with Eclipse Vert.x, a toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM.
Clement Escoffier, Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat and a Core Developer on Vert.x, shows developers and architects how to get started with this toolkit. By learning first how to build a single microservice, and then an entire system, you’ll learn the benefits of using reactive principles for building and deploying microservices that are autonomous, asynchronous, resilient, and elastic.

Build and consume a single microservice to understand how messaging improves its reactiveness
Create an entire microservices system, using stability and resilience patterns to manage failures
Use the OpenShift container platform to deploy and manage microservices in a virtual or cloud environment
