Terracotta - Real Apps, Real Frameworks, Real Use Cases
Abstract
Writing enterprise Java apps can be a real drag. Apps should be simpler to build and run - doing so will save your company lots of money but, more importantly, it will help you avoid a lot of headaches.
You may already know about Terracotta, but this is not just another Terracotta / vendor presentation. We worked with customer use cases and built a real app using real frameworks. It is a fully functioning web application; it's not just a demo but the app has security, MySQL and ORM, and even more! The source code is totally free and open source and is meant to teach Terracotta tire-kickers what it is like to live with our products as much as it is designed to give the community a springboard for creating apps that are simple to build and implement.
Come to this talk if you want to learn all the neat and cool ways we learned to offload the database. Come to this talk if you want to learn how to plug Spring Security, Webflow, MVC, and more into a Terracotta-based backbone. We will spend our entire time together on source code, the internals of Spring and how / what Terracotta is sharing underneath our app. Also, come to this talk if you want to learn what it takes to make Terracotta really scale. This web app we'll showcase can talk to 50,000 concurrent users on 16 JVMs. We've gained a lot of knowledge about Spring, Terracotta, and web app development. We want to share it with you.
Do not come to this talk if you want to keep paying your vendor lots of money for your database and application server.
