Description
This talk will introduce the concept of Flux, a unidirectional data flow pattern proposed by Facebook, to implement better client side web applications; and how we took this pattern to the server side to implement realtime, scalable microservices. This talk will take you through our adventurous journey in rewriting a monolithic Waartaa into several microservices and how we implemented:
Inter process communication Keeping services as stateless as possible Single source of truth Realtime publishers The end result of this venture is ircb, a scalable IRB bouncer for humans, written using Python 3 asyncio, and on top of homebrewed zeromq based store.
The talk will be organized as:
Setting the scene Why move to microservices? Managing state in microservices can be a nightmare? Server side Flux to the rescue Walk through IRCB architecture Demo - concepts in action Future Questions
