Abstract

Organizations have moved from making their employees available to having their applications available directly to the users. This changes the magnitude of scale
of interactions the applications have to support. Furthermore, with devices and bots accessing the systems, we’re looking at a complete different rate of response than we once had to aim for.

In this presentation we will discuss the fundamentals of reactive systems, the key design goals, and the technologies that facilitate building such systems.
