Last week, a meeting of Java developers was held at Yandex.Money. It talked a lot about Vert.x, discussed the benefits of Kotlin, when everything is not so bad, as well as features of the development of its own REST-like API.

It's time to share records of reports from Yandex, Badoo, Alpha Laboratories and Yandex.Money .

Vertical Take-Up Microservices on Vert.x

Vert.x is a tool for building reactive applications under the JVM. With his help, Vladimir Krasilshchik from Yandex wrote a small container application right in the course of the report to illustrate the principles of Vert.x, its pros and cons.

Especially useful to hear about compatibility with other tools for building and running applications.

Java application in badoo

In general, Badoo loves PHP, but Alexander Krasheninnikov shared his experience in building some subsystems in Java. The report discusses stream aggregation of analytic events and Anomaly Detection for time series.

How and why to write your spring-starter

Cyril Tolkachev and Maxim Gorelikov from Alpha Lab told about the problems that can be solved with the framework of the spring-starter framework, and shared their recipes for creating smart libraries on it.

Useful experience, so as not to create new problems for yourself while fighting old ones.

Practice building a REST-like API

On the practice of building a REST-like API Roman Tsirulnikov from Yandex.Money is preparing a detailed article. But at the mitap, he still spoke about the main points and shared his tips on where to better not attack.
