Track: Reactive Service Architecture
Location:
- Grand Ballroom A
Day of week:
- Tuesday
This track will show how to craft reactive services that are resilient, responsive, scalable, and deserving to be the backbone of any production system.
If you’re not building an array of reactive services from scratch, our speakers will share best practices to help you incrementally improve the quality of your existing services and get you on the path to be reactive.

Software Engineer, Netflix API Platform
Reactive programming in the form of RxJS and RxJava has been adopted at Netflix over the past couple years for both client-side and server-side programming. This talk will summarize why the Rx programming model was chosen and demonstrate how it is applied to a variety of use cases including web services, interprocess communication and stream processing. Along the way topics like flow control, backpressure, concurrency, and event loops will be discussed and how they play into building...

Consulting CTO (former Google and eBay)
The systems issues addressed by the Reactive Manifesto are far from new. Highly concurrent event-driven approaches have been common for years in diverse areas from low-level hardware to large-scale distributed systems. What is new is the much broader availability of modern programming practices which allow developers to take advantage of these approaches in a clean, comprehensible, and extensible way.
This session will start with a brief tour along this evolutionary path, from...

Open Space
Join Harry Brumleve, our speakers, and other attendees as we show each other how to craft reactive services that are resilient, responsive, scalable, and deserving to be the backbone of any production system. We will share best practices to help each other incrementally improve the quality of our existing services and get on the path to be reactive.
What is Open Space?
Every day at QConSF, we’ll open space five times, once for each track. Open Space is a kind of unconference...

Erlang hacker at AdRoll
In this talk, using the Erlang hacker's semi-official motto "Let it Crash!" as a lens, I'll speak to how radical simplicity of implementation, straight-forward runtime characteristics and discoverability of the running system lead to computer systems which have great success in networked, always-on deployments.
I will argue that while Erlang natively implements many features which aid the construction of such systems--functional programming language semantics, lack of global mutable...

Principal Platform Evangelist at Salesforce.com
The world is going Reactive and there are now a number of different ways get there. The Reactive Manifesto states that Reactive apps must be "Elastic" so this session will use code examples and real apps to compare the different models of elasticity in frameworks like the Typesafe Platform (Play...

Senior Software Engineer at Firefly Logic
This session will cover the many features of functional programming languages that make this way of thinking ideal for reactive service programming. Using F#, we'll briefly cover how immutable events are especially suited to modern applications, and then move on to examples of asynchronous workflows, MailboxProcessors, and delve into the Fsharp.Actor library to demonstrate scalable and resilient code.
