Reactive Architecture: Distributed Messaging Platforms
|
Master the use of distributed messaging platforms in reactive architecture. Learn how to integrate tools like Kafka and RabbitMQ to enable reliable, asynchronous communication between distributed systems.
At a Glance
Reactive Systems are built on a foundation of asynchronous, non-blocking messages. This course will explore that idea in detail.
About This Course
Reactive Systems are built on a foundation of asynchronous, non-blocking messages. This course will explore that idea in detail. We will discuss replacing distributed transactions with the Saga pattern. We will explore the consequences of building a distributed system on the delivery guarantees we can provide for our messages. Finally we will look at different techniques for delivering the messages like Point to Point or Publish/Subscribe, and how we can leverage external technologies such as a message bus to help.
What will I get after passing this course?
- You will receive a completion certificate.
