THE BEGINNING


Java Magazin 04.14: Vert.x im UnternehmenseinsatzEntwicklung und Betrieb von asynchronen Applikationen mit Vert.x in der Praxis


THE BEGINNING

●New request processing-system for Zanox

●Requirements are pretty high (not negotiable):●Low latency●High throughput●Scalable●Resilient●Responsive●Event-Driven●Fast


THE BEGINNING

7

“Vert.x is a lightweight, high performance application platform for the JVM that's designed for modern mobile, web, and enterprise applications.”

WHAT IS A VERTICLE?

●Classes with an own Classloader

●operates Single Threaded

●executed by an Event Loop

TAKE A LOOK INSIDE


WHAT‘S DEEP INSIDE?

●Build on top of Netty 4

●Uses Hazelcast for node discovery

●Jackson for JSON

●Java7+


HOW TO START?

●Prerequisite: JDK 7

●download and unzip file from vertx.io

●put /bin directory to PATH variable


HOW TO START?

●mvn archetype:generate -Dfilter=io.vertx: (do not forget the colon!)

●generates structure for all languages (JS, Ruby, Groovy, Python)

●maven pom is already set with relevant data


HOW TO START?


BEST PRACTICES


BEST PRACTICES

●do not block the loop●put blocking code or extensive computation into

worker verticles●keep the application responsive●stress test as often as possible

●encapsulate common code in modules (more on this later)


INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE

VERT.X MODULE SYSTEM

●Vert.x has a powerful module system. ●Package your Vert.x components into modules for

encapsulation and reuse.●The module is a zip file●It can be just plugged in into your application


VERT.X MODULE SYSTEM

●Share your modules with the community by putting them in Maven Central, any other Maven repository, or in Bintray.

●Advertise your module in the module registry.


VERT.X MODULE REGISTRY

●Just fill in the form and wait for approval:


INTEGRATION WITH MESSAGING SYSTEM

●Apache Kafka is a publish-subscribe messaging implemented as a distributed commit log.

●Fast

●Scalable

●Durable

●Distributed

KAFKA MESSAGING SYSTEM


INTEGRATION WITH MESSAGING SYSTEM

●Topic - categories for feeds of messages

●Producer - publishes messages to topics

●Consumer - subscribes to topics and process the feed of published messages consumers

●Broker - Kafka is run as a cluster comprised of one or more servers each of which is called a broker.

MAIN TERMINOLOGY:


KAFKA MODULE

●Application sends messages to Kafka module using Vert.x event bus

●Kafka module acts as a producer●Available on Maven Central and Vert.x module registry


KAFKA MODULE IN MODULE REGISTRY

Open sourced Kafka module in Vert.x’s module registry - http://modulereg.vertx.io/

http://modulereg.vertx.io/


USING VERT.X MODULE

First, deploy the module into your application:

container.deployModule("com.zanox.vertx~mod-kafka~1.0.2", config);


USING KAFKA MODULE

JsonObject config = new JsonObject();

config.putString("kafka-topic", ‘kafka_topic“);

config.putString("metadata.broker.list", “localhost:9092”);

config.putString("request.required.acks", "1");

CONFIGURATION IS A JSON OBJECT:


METRICS OF VERT.X PROJECT

●On 4 Cores virtual machine we had the following results:●~28 K requests per second without Kafka, with

lookup from Redis●~18 K requests per second with Kafka and lookup

from Redis
