Building Low Latency Microservices & Monoliths in Java Using High Performance Serialization & Messaging

Explore microservices architecture and monoliths in Java through this conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2016. Delve into the importance of latency in microservices, learn when to choose microservices over monoliths, and discover techniques for building high-performance systems. Gain insights on low-latency serialization, messaging, and garbage collection optimization. Follow along as Peter Lawrey, CEO at Higher Frequency Trading Ltd, demonstrates practical examples, discusses component-based design, and explores distributed systems. Understand CPU layouts, thread affinity, and data modeling for optimal performance. Learn about testing strategies, transports like Chronicle Queue, and flow control in Java-based microservices. Acquire valuable knowledge on building efficient, scalable, and responsive Java applications for both microservices and monolithic architectures.
