Overview
Vert.x is a library for building reactive applications that run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Vert.x to create an asynchronous, event-based web application.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand and use the different components (core, web, client, etc.) in the Vert.x stack.
- Use Vert.x to create network utilities, HTTP/REST microservices, high volume event processing, back-end message-bus applications, etc.
- Execute an app that can handle high concurrency using minimal kernel threads.
- Use Vert.x’s APIs to support Java, JavaScript, Groovy, Ruby, Ceylon, Scala, Kotlin, etc.
- Unit test asynchronous code with Vert.x-Unit.
- Deploy and scale an app with minimal hardware.
