The key to developing a highly scalable architecture is to decouple functional parts of an application. In the context of an event-driven architecture, those functional parts are single-purpose event processing components (“microservices”). In this blog post, we will show you how to build a microservice using Scala, Akka, Scalatra, the AWS SDK for Java, and Docker. […]

In an earlier blog post, I discussed how a Maven bill of materials (BOM) module can be used to manage your Maven dependencies on the AWS SDK for Java. In this blog post, I will provide an example of how you can use the Maven BOM in your Gradle projects to manage the dependencies on […]
