Description

With cloud-native and microservices architecture gaining wide adoption, asynchronous programming patterns are becoming increasingly important. Irakli Nadareishvili details three major async forms that are relevant in this space—event sourcing, reactiveness, and data streams—defining each pattern, explaining relevant use cases using examples from fintech, and exploring differences in implementation. The examples and guidelines are derived from Irakli’s extensive experience working with many exciting organizations. Along the way, he compares his experience to the experience in the rest of the industry, deriving insights from takeaways from companies such as Netflix, SoundCloud, Amazon, and other early microservices adopters.
