Designing Applications for Resiliency and Scalability

Application development has changed dramatically in the last 8-10 years. As developers we must deal with cloud computing, the abundance of mobile devices, multi-core processors and real-time requirements from users. Furthermore, large applications today can potentially be deployed across thousands of nodes. Given that the requirements have changed, application design and development must change as well. No longer can we only rely upon building a synchronous, command-and-control style of application utilizing Java EE patterns and practices. In order to remain resilient, scalable and responsive, applications must be designed differently.

This session will explore building applications that are better suited for today’s demands, applications that are event-driven, resilient and scalable.
