Reactive Platform from IBM is a JVM-based application development framework and message-driven runtime for building and deploying distributed, data-centric applications. It combines community-hardened open source projects with commercial enterprise capabilities for running your mission-critical systems at scale.
Akka is a Java and Scala toolkit and message-driven runtime based on Actors and Streams. It is the foundation of the Reactive Platform.
Play is a Java and Scala development framework built on Akka. It’s your go-to for REST-ful APIs and web apps.
Lagom is a microservices framework built on the Akka and Play foundations. Lagom provides an abstraction layer to allow developers to focus on an event-driven programming model to build a reactive system of microservices.
Java is an object oriented (OO) programming language. All toolkits and frameworks in the Reactive Platform support Java APIs.
Scala is an OO and functional programming language. All toolkits and frameworks in the Reactive Platform support Scala APIs.
Slick is a modern database query and access library. It adds non-blocking backpressure to make database access more Reactive.
Intelligent MonitoringGain deep visibility and ensure the health of your Reactive applications with expert instrumentation for intelligent monitoring and visualization.
Advanced ToolingSimulate production environments locally, check configs, receive actionable optimization recommendations, and deliver continuously with advanced tools.
Application ManagementEase management of Reactive applications with service orchestration, split brain resolution, service discovery, dynamic load balancing and more.
Reactive Platform Developer edition Version 1.2 from IBM contains all of the elements of the platform developers need to get started with building reactive applications.
Step 1:
Check your operating system for compatibility. Reactive Platform Developer edition runs on the following operating systems:
Step 2:
To use the software, download and install the IBM Java SDK for Linux x86_64 (look for Linux on AMD64/EMT64T), or you can use a compatible SDK of your own.
Step 3:
Here comes the fun part! Choose your path and start building.
Or explore a variety of experiences with Lagom, Play, Akka, Scala, or Slick
