This repository is a lab about vert.x explaining how to build distributed microservice reactive applications using Vert.x.
Instructions are available on http://escoffier.me/vertx-hol
Complete code is available in the solution directory.
Vert.x is a toolkit to create reactive distributed applications running on the top of the Java Virtual Machine. Vert.x exhibits very good performances, and a very simple and small API based on the asynchronous, non-blocking development model. With vert.x, you can developed microservices in Java, but also in JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby and Ceylon. Vert.x also lets you interact with Node.JS, .NET or C applications.
This lab is an introduction to microservice development using Vert.x. The application is a fake trading application, and maybe you are going to become (virtually) rich! The applications is a federation of interaction microservices packaged as fat-jar and creating a cluster.
