Developing API Platform in Groovy at Rakuten
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Some Key aspects of the Rakuten App Engine are:
- Many powerful API administrating functions including a DSL-based function for developing APIs.
- It is a core system for the entire Rakuten group (including play.com) handling over 100 million requests per/day.
- A high availability 24x7 service policy. It supports mission critical services like Rakuten's credit card business.
In this session Shuichi will introduce the Rakuten App Engine as a good illustration of Groovy's powerful functionality.
To achieve this scalability and reliability, his team tried to combine Groovy with many technologies. These included SpringSource dm Server, OSGi, Hive/Hadoop, Clustrix, MongoDB, Cloud Foundry and others. He will explain how these technologies worked and importantly how they did NOT work!
