What the attendees will learn

  • Why do we build distributed systems?
  • What are the consequences of focusing on availability and reliability?
  • How to model information flow in a decentralised system using event sourcing
  • How to use an eventually consistent decentralised event log like ActyxOS
  • Taking decisions in a distributed system based on partial knowledge

 

Requirements

The attendees should bring a computer running Docker (Linux, macOS, Windows) and Visual Studio Code.

Android tablets may be an interesting addition.

You may start looking at https://www.actyx.com/ for some preview information on ActyxOS.

  • Introduction to the Actyx Pond programming library
  • Writing business logic units a.k.a. Fishes
