It’s going to be LEGEND… (wait for it!)

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Everybody reacts to something

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

… so, what is a reaction?Merriam Webster defines it as:

The way someone acts or feels in response to something that happens, is said, etc.

Reactions: the ability to act and move quickly in order to avoid sudden danger

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Reactions are natural

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Reactions… to what??

E V E N T S

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Old is newAn event-driven architecture (EDA) is a framework that orchestrates behavior around the production, detection and consumption of events as well as the responses they evoke. An event is any identifiable occurrence that has significance for system hardware or software.

Back to the future?

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

At least!!

(OpenWhisk)

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Yeah. this drawing, again

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Why?• Open Source ->https://github.com/openwhisk/openwhisk

• Easy to understand

• Integration with many of Bluemix’s services

• Swift and Javascript support

• Run Docker containers!

• Download it and run it yourself. :)

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

ConceptsTriggers

A named channel for a class of events.

Fired by using a list of k,v pairs. -> EVENT!

Can be explicitly fired by a user or by an external event source.

Rules:

Associates one trigger with one action

Actions:

Stateless code snippets that run inside OpenWhisk

Can be invoked or respond to an event

Actions can call more actions, setting chains of actions

@eljuanchosf | @altoros

Concepts / 2Feeds

A external event source that fires a trigger

Packages

A bundle of actions and feeds

Can be used together with other actions and packages

Can be explicitly fired by a user or by an external event source.

Polling:

$ wsk activation poll
