Lightbend And Red Hat: Making Cloud Native A Reality

To compete in a fast-paced digital economy, businesses need to develop, deploy, and scale new cloud native applications quickly and cost-effectively. In many cases these applications are data-centric in nature and have requirements for real-time or near real-time processing of data.

Building and running these applications requires both:

a modern distributed microservices-based application architecture
a fully flexible hybrid cloud and multi-cloud container platform

Lightbend being fully certified to run on Red Hat® OpenShift® Container Platform means that enterprises now have an end-to-end capability for enabling enterprises to run their businesses more effectively with cloud native applications.

Reactive Microsystems: The Evolution of Microservices at Scale

When it comes to development speed, time-to-market, and continuous delivery, microservices can do wonders for your organization. Author Jonas Bonér, Founder and CTO of Lightbend and author of Reactive Microservices Architecture (O’Reilly), demonstrates how to refactor a monolithic application step-by-step. You’ll briefly land at single instance microliths (micro monoliths) before working your way toward a scalable and resilient microsystem.

Designing Reactive Systems: The Role Of Actors In Distributed Architecture

The Actor model provides a relatively simple but powerful way to design and implement reactive applications that can distribute work across clusters of cores and servers. Author Hugh McKee shows you how Actors behave and interact as humans do when it comes to communicating, and how these similar behavioral patterns provide basic intuition when designing reactive systems. Actors allow your teams to focus on an application’s business logic rather than on low-level protocols, accelerating time-to- market while keeping your infrastructure costs low.
