NATS for Rubyists / Designing Practical RESTful APIs

Agenda

19:00 〜 19:30 Doors open

Grab a drink and catch up with your fellow Rubyists.

19:30 〜 19:50 NATS for Rubyists Waldemar Quevedo

NATS is a high performance messaging system that was originally created as part of CloudFoundry but since then it has grown its own ecosystem and community around it, and also recently included as part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Similar to Ruby, one of the goals from NATS is to make building messaging based applications as simple and reliable as possible. In this talk, we will cover why NATS might be interesting to consider for your next project and share some of the lessons learned so far from maintaining the Ruby clients from NATS.
