Our Experience Designing and Building gRPC Services
The Bugsnag engineering team recently worked on massively scaling our backend data-processing pipeline to support the launch of the Releases dashboard. The Releases dashboard (for comparing releases to improve the health of applications) included support for sessions, which would mean a significant increase in the amount of data processed in our backend. Because of this and the corresponding increase in call load, we implemented gRPC as our microservices communications framework. It allows our microservices to talk to each other in a more robust and performant way.
In this post, we’ll walk through our experiences building out gRPC and some of the gotchas and development tips we’ve learned along the way. https://goo.gl/3XGSAa
Systems Integration and Streaming Data at Reactive Summit
#ICYMI: We interviewed Enno Runne, team lead on the Alpakka project at Lightbend, about his career, the evolution toward instantaneous data via Alpakka, and his upcoming talk at Reactive Summit next week.
First of all, let’s talk about what your background is, and what initially drew you to systems integration. https://goo.gl/h47kJY
