Clockwise from top left: Wade Waldron (Trainer & Practice Lead), Doug Weatherbee (Training Manager), and Oliver White (Chief Storyteller) have some fun discussing the course :)
With over 20 experts in our Professional Services team, we work on a lot of projects with our clients’ development teams. At the end of the day, all these teams are working to deliver real business value with technologies that can rapidly adapt, change and scale on modern architectures. Deploying infrequently with massive updates and running into scale issues, these clients have realized that their legacy monolithic systems just don’t cut it any more.
Throughout our experiences, we’ve seen that teams who start by changing their way of thinking before coding–making a paradigm shift from old monoliths to Reactive Microservice architecture – are absolutely our most successful customers. Period. It may be an overused quote but “we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Teams that change their thinking upfront get to a modern solution to their business problems faster.
"This course gave our team more confidence and tools to move forward with the development of our Reactive application knowing we were going to build it correctly the first time.”

Lightbend Reactive Architecture - Professional is a crash course in thinking differently with an experienced guide and guidelines from Lightbend. Lightbend has achieved a record of strong successes with our Reactive Platform technologies. We’ve codified our lessons learned, best practices, reference architectures, design patterns and analysis techniques into the Lightbend Reactive Architecture - Professional training course. You don’t have to figure them out on your own, wasting development time and money.
Lightbend Reactive Architecture - Professional is a jam packed three day course. The course is heavy on practical, highly interactive small group exercises that function as a “design manual roadmap” after the class for the domains your team will be tackling. We’ve built the exercises to model exactly how your team will work post-class.
The course starts by diving into Why Reactive principals are important. It then goes into Domain Driven Design (DDD) theory and practical domain modelling techniques in deep dive group modelling exercises. We move on to evolve the DDD model into Reactive Microservices. The course then dives into the hard problems of distributed programming in Consistency, Availability, Scalability.
A foundation of reactive systems is embracing async communication as discussed and practiced in the exercises of Messaging and Coordination. Finally the course does a deep dive into Command Query Responsibility Segregation and Event Sourcing (CQRS/ES); two essential techniques of reactive systems and architectures.
