Writing applications for Cloud Foundry using Spring and MongoDB

How do you get started writing an application for the cloud?

This talk will show you how to develop a real application using Spring MVC with Spring Data and MongoDB providing the persistence layer. We'll cover the Repsoitory approach as well as taking advantage of typesafe query building using QueryDSL.

Architecture choices for Scalable Cloud Apps

This session explores how Spring technologies such as Spring Integration can be effectively used on Cloud Foundry to create scalable Spring applications.

The session will discuss execution details of numerous services (MongoDB, RabbitMQ, Redis) from a scalability and ephemeral instance management perspective.It also examines how a group of applications help address scalability constraints in different parts of a system.
