Get Opinionated! Use Spring Boot!
Wednesday, November 28th, 2018
6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Presented by
Michael Slater
Spring Boot is an opinionated implementation of the old and popular Java Spring Framework. In this presentation, we'll cover general Spring Application concepts and highlight how Spring Boot provides production ready defaults for integrations with systems such as:
- RabbitMQ
- Kafka
- MongoDB
- SQL Databases
- and more!
I'll also show some tricks on how to build base working features in Spring Boot and slowly override the conventions that aren't suited for your application. We'll end with a demonstration that highlights how easy integration testing your Spring Boot applications can be.
Michael Slater currently works as a Principal Consultant for Improving in Houston, TX. He uses Spring Boot every day to deliver high performing solutions in the real time data analytics space using various technologies such as Kafka, MongoDB, GCP, and more. Michael has also used Spring to create scalable micro-transaction systems at Trion Worlds and helped write the Spring Boot curriculum for a coding bootcamp. When he's not coding Michael is either playing Rocket League or riding his bike training for the MS-150.
