AGENDA

• What is Micronaut• Why another framework?• The challenges of Microservices• Installation• The Micronaut CLI• Hello World Service• Inter-service Communication• RabbitMQ• Event-Driven Microservices• Writing and Deploying Serverless Functions

WHAT IS MICRONAUT?

”

“A MODERN, JVM-BASED, FULL-

STACK FRAMEWORK FOR BUILDING MODULAR, EASILY TESTABLE

MICROSERVICE APPLICATIONS. OCI

WHY (YET) ANOTHER FRAMEWORK?

GRAILS (CIRCA 2006)

THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY

A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN

GRAILS THEN AND NOW

• Monoliths were the dominant pattern

• No major JS frameworks yet

• No Docker

• Cloud was very different

• …A lot can change in 12 years

• Microservices are becoming a dominant pattern

• The way we build web apps has completely changed

• The way we deploy apps has completely changed

• The framework evolves with the times

2006 2018

• Fast Startup Time• Reduced Memory Footprint• Minimal Use of Reflection• Minimal Use of Proxies• As small as possible JAR sizes• Zero Dependencies

• Fast Startup Time• Reduced Memory Footprint• Minimal Use of Reflection• Minimal Use of Proxies• As small as possible JAR sizes• Zero Dependencies

• Fast Startup Time• Reduced Memory Footprint• Minimal Use of Reflection• Minimal Use of Proxies• As small as possible JAR sizes• Zero Dependencies

THE RESULTS

• JAR files

• 8MB in Java

• 12 MB in Groovy

• Spring and Groovy – 36MB

• Grails – 27 MB

• Heap size

• 7MB in Java

• 19 MB in Groovy

• Spring and Groovy – 33 MB

• Grails – 49 MB

• Startup time

• Java ~1 second

• Spring / Grails ~3-4 seconds

HOW?

• Compile time dependency Injection & AOP for Groovy, Java and Kotlin

• AST Transforms for Groovy, Annotation processors for Java/Kotlin

• Annotation Metadata produced at compile Time

• Reflection Free and No Reflection Data Caching

SPRING (AND GRAILS) ARE EXPENSIVE

Read the bytecode

01Synthesize new annotations

02Build reflection metadata

THE CHALLENGE

• Spring (and grails) offer a productivity and a great programming model

• With Spring (and grails) non-trivial apps get bloated quickly

• There has to be a better way

• Designed from the ground up with microservices in mind

• Ultra-lightweight and reactive – Based on Netty• Integrated AOP and Compile-time DI• HTTP Client & Server

NATIVELY CLOUD NATIVE

• Service discovery / orchestration• Configuration• Immutable Deployments• Efficient service interaction• Elastic scaling• Cloud Awareness• Monitoring• Tracing• Security• Resilience (also degrading)• Cloud Functions

EVENT DRIVEN MICROSERVICES

MICRONAUT + RABBITMQ

RabbitMQ is an open-source message-broker software that originally implemented the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) and has since been extended with a plug-in architecture to support Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol (STOMP), Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT), and other protocols.git clone https://github.com/micronaut-guides/micronaut-rabbitmq.git
