Simon Says: Making a Game with Kubernetes & gRPC
Monday, October 3 10 AM - 11 AM
Building scalable real-time applications that can communicate with multiple platforms is a tricky proposition with many hard problems: device network performance, real-time bidirectional communication, scalable infrastructure, and distributed systems. By leveraging open source libraries such as Docker, Kubernetes and gRPC, we can mitigate these issues to quickly build a scalable, real time experience. During this talk, we will look at how gRPC can be used as a performant real-time communication framework that works across platforms and languages like Go, Node.js and Java. We combine this with Kubernetes’ ability to orchestrate containers at scale to handle all of these devices.
