How We Can Help You

Learning Path - Introduction to Reactive Microservices

Enterprise development has changed drastically from the early days of public internet use. Now, instead of satisfying the needs of thousands or tens of thousands, applications can serve millions of users—and potentially even more devices. This article series looks at how enterprises an remain competitive by innovating in ever shorter development cycles.

Real-Time Streaming Applications

Real-time streaming is changing the game. To remain a competitive player, you need an edge. Industry leaders use Lightbend Platform to extract value from streaming data to provide users with real-time personalization and decision making features.

From Monolith To Microservices

Microservices aren’t easy. We’ll help you get it right for the greatest gain. Lightbend Platform helps you migrate to the right microservice architecture, embracing the cloud and releasing new functionality more frequently, with less risk.

Improve Infrastructure Efficiency

Get better resource utilization and higher performance in the cloud. Lightbend Platform lets you handle larger loads more efficiently. On half the infrastructure.

Moving To The Cloud

Using modern, cloud-native infrastructure? You need modern, cloud-native application architecture. Lightbend Platform provides the cloud-native programming model needed to create applications for cloud-native infrastructure technologies like Kubernetes, OpenShift, IBM Cloud.

System Scalability & Elasticity

Scale to handle any peak in demand without wasting costly resources during normal traffic. Lightbend Platform helps you scale elastically across all of your available infrastructure, making it easy to not only expand out to meet high demand, but also to scale in afterwards.
