gRPC with Java : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API & Microservices using Protocol Buffers

gRPC Java Master Class : Build Fast & Scalable Modern API for your Microservice using gRPC Protocol Buffers

gRPC is a revolutionary and modern way to define and write APIs for your microservices. The days of REST, JSON and Swagger are over! Now writing an API is easy, simple, fast and efficient.

gRPC is created by Google and Square, is an official CNCF project (like Docker and Kubernetes) and is now used by the biggest tech companies such as Netflix, CoreOS, CockRoachDB, and so on!
gRPC is very popular and has over 15,000 stars on GitHub (2 times what Kafka has!).

I am convinced that gRPC is the FUTURE for writing API for microservices so I want to give you a chance to learn about it TODAY.



Amongst the advantage of gRPC:
1) All your APIs and messages are simply defined using Protocol Buffers
2) All your server and client code for any programming language gets generated automatically for free! Saves you hours of programming
3) Data is compact and serialised
4) API calls are simple
5) Streaming is supported
6) gRPC scales really, really well

So much more as you'll learn

EVENT DRIVEN MICROSERVICES

EVENT BASED MICROSERVICES - Event Sourcing In a Microservice Architecture, especially with Database per Microservice, the Microservices need to exchange data. For resilient, highly scalable, and fault-tolerant systems, they should communicate asynchronously by exchanging Events. In such a case, you may want to have Atomic operations, e.g., update the Database and send the message. If you have SQL databases and want to have distributed transactions for a high volume of data, you cannot use the two-phase locking (2PL) as it does not scale. If you use NoSQL Databases and want to have a distributed transaction, you cannot use 2PL as many NoSQL databases do not support two-phase locking. In such scenarios, use Event based Architecture with Event Sourcing. In traditional databases, the Business Entity with the current “state” is directly stored. In Event Sourcing, any state-changing event or other significant events are stored instead of the entities. It means the modifications of a Busines...

Recommendation Engines - Know How

Recommendation Engines perform a variety of tasks - but the most important one is to find products that are most relevant to the user. Content based filtering, collaborative filtering and Association rules are common approaches to do so. So let's first  Understand basics of Recommendation Engines and then we'll later on Build Our Own Recommendation Engine !!! HIGH QUALITY, PERSONALIZED  ARE THE HOLY GRAIL FOR EVERY ONLINE STORE. UNLIKE OFFLINE STORES,  ONLINE STORES HAVE NO SALES PEOPLE. USERS ON THE OTHER HAND  HAVE LIMITED TIME AND PATIENCE,  ARE NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR  ONLINE STORES HAVE A HUGE NUMBER OF  PRODUCTS. RECOMMENDATIONS HELP USERS  NAVIGATE THE MAZE OF ONLINE STORES  FIND WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR  FIND THINGS THEY MIGHT LIKE, BUT DIDN’T KNOW OF. RECOMMENDATIONS HELP ONLINE STORES  SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF DISCOVERY. BUT HOW? Lets Explain this. ONLINE STORES HAVE DATA 1) WHAT USERS  BOUGHT 2)...

KAFKA - Architecture

Kafka - Architecture What is Kafka? Kafka is an event-streaming platform that is designed to process high volumes of data in real-time. Developed by LinkedIn in 2011, it has quickly become the infrastructural backbone of companies like Netflix, Twitter, and Spotify. Why do we need Kafka? In today’s data-driven world, tracking information like user clicks, recommendations, and shopping carts can be invaluable for a company’s growth. With these analytics, companies can make the product improvements needed to boost user engagement and conversion rates. However, on sites with millions of daily users, collecting and analyzing this data is nontrivial. Kafka was des i gned to streamline this operation, acting as a robust tool that maintains efficient, real-time processing capabilities with incredible quantities of data. For instance, as of late 2019, LinkedIn’s Kafka deployments were managing more than 7 trillion messages per day. How does Kafka work? Kafka provides a structured architecture ...
