In this tutorial, we will look at distributed systems, and how we integrate them. We will understand why we would prefer to integrate via messaging, the fundamentals and key concepts of messaging and how to build an event driven architecture.

If you have ever been put off moving from HTTP or RPC-based solutions to messaging because of the need to learn how to implement messaging-based solutions, this workshop will get you started.

If you have been using messaging but want to gain a firmer understanding of how to build event driven architectures, this workshop will help you understand how to succeed with reactive approaches.

The material is presented in two parts: an introduction to using messaging middle-ware (including hands-on exercises in RabbitMQ and Kafka) and the fundamentals of how we construct event driven architectures.

Hands-on exercises are offered in C#, Java, JavaScript, Python and Go.

Topics covered will include:

Day 1: Messaging

- Distribution
- Integration Styles
- Messaging Patterns
- Queues and Streams
- Managing Asynchronous Architectures

Day 2: Conversations

- Flow
- Process Automation
- Control Flow
- Activities
