In this session, Nati will present three simple steps to scale out your Spring applications. He will demonstrate how you can take an existing application employing a traditional tier-based architecture and evolve it to a service-based architecture that delivers higher levels of scalability while keeping your core programming model intact."
Designers of distributed systems are forced to deal with many complex issues such as high availability, scalability, performance and latency. We often address these issues with brute force development work, thereby creating a cumbersome and slow development process. Despite the challenge, the need to apply agile development and testing practices in such environments is obvious and we see numerous solutions and methodologies aimed to fulfill it. One of the more successful ones is the Spring Framework that its layered architecture enables modularity and agility of development."
