Microservices, containers, and Kubernetes help to free apps from infrastructure, enabling them to work independently and run anywhere. With VMware Tanzu, you can make the most of these cloud native patterns, automate the delivery of containerized workloads, and proactively manage apps in production. It’s all about freeing developers to do their thing: build great apps.

In a world where multiple applications and clients are calling your APIs, you end up having to create custom endpoints for different views of your data. What if you could provide fewer endpoints and let the consumer decide on which data they need.

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

In this session, you will learn what GraphQL is and why you should consider it in your next project. You will learn how to use GraphQL in your Spring Boot applications by leveraging the Spring for GraphQL project. By the end of this session, you will understand how to stand up a GraphQL endpoint and request the data you need, and nothing more.

Introduction to Spring for GraphQL

In this talk, your friendly neighborhood Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long (@starbuxman) introduces you to the ground-floor basics of building reactive applications with Spring. 

You’ll learn about Reactor, the Reactive Streams specification, and how to build reactive pipelines. We’ll learn about reactive SQL and NoSQL data-access.  We’ll look at how to build reactive HTTP and websocket-centric services with Spring and Spring Boot. 

This installment is part one of three.

Introduction to Reactive Spring (Part One)

Streaming applications are all the rage these days because they open up exciting, new use cases. Every streaming application demands a common set of capabilities. The most critical of all is reliability of the events delivery and processing. But what does reliable processing entail? How do you build a streaming pipeline that’s responsive to performance changes in a distributed system? That’s where the reactor back-pressure comes into the picture.

Join Pivotal Platform Architect Madhav Sathe and Pivotal Principal Software Engineer Marcial Rosales for this online class as they walk you through the ingredients of building streaming pipelines. You’ll learn:

● An overview of what Project Reactor is and how it works.
● How Project Reactor makes it possible to build an end-to-end streaming pipeline.
● How to use RabbitMQ’s native reactive support and Project Reactor to build stateful streaming transformations.
● How to demonstrate backpressure across multiple distributed systems in this architecture.
● How this stack is being used to solve real use cases.

We look forward to you joining us.

How to Build Reliable Streaming Pipelines with RabbitMQ and Project Reactor

Folks are eager to adopt microservices in order to scale and iterate code faster. Microservices architectures offer a means to safely decouple parts of an application into smaller, more independent units. But adopting a microservices architecture means increasing the number of services communicating via API calls. This introduces the need for API gateways.

API gateways aren’t new, but as cloud-native infrastructure evolves, the requirements for API gateways have changed, too. Today, developers are looking for a gateway that runs close to their application to minimize latency, supports reversions to earlier versions, and operates like any other Spring Boot application. Spring Cloud Gateway deploys independently as a Spring Boot app, integrates with Spring Cloud Service Discovery and Spring Cloud Security, and uses familiar tools for observability and resilience. 

Join Chris Sterling, Pivotal Product Manager, and Brian McClain, Pivotal Tech Marketer, to learn:

● How to set up a basic route using Spring Cloud Gateway
● How to expose the gateway on the network without exposing the services
● How to use Spring Cloud Security to authenticate users at the gateway
● How Pivotal Spring Cloud Gateway makes it easier to operate, upgrade, dynamically configure with no downtime, and more 

We look forward to you joining us.
