Modern Application Architectures with Grails and Spring

Today's modern applications have much different requirements than traditional enterprise applications from a decade ago. Today's applications require things like multiple client channels, integration with big, unstructured data, rapid time to market, and unparalleled scalability. And most traditional enterprise development frameworks aren't well suited to meet these needs.

This session will show how application architectures have changed, and how frameworks like Grails and Spring can be used to implement modern architectures to support today's applications. Patterns such as idempotent services, horizontal and vertical scalability, and agile releases will be described, as well as how Grails and Spring are well suited for these patterns and architectures.
