Chapter 9. A Reactive API to Amazon Web Services
Throughout this book, we have learned a number of tools and techniques to aid us in building reactive applications—futures with imminent, Observables with RxClojure/RxJava, channels with core.async—and even in building reactive user interfaces using Om and React.
In the process, we also became acquainted with the concept of Functional Reactive Programming and Compositional Event Systems, as well as what makes them different.
In this last chapter, we will bring a few of these different tools and concepts together by developing an application based on a real-world use case from a client I worked with in Sydney, Australia. We will:
Describe the problem of infrastructure automation we were trying to solve
Have a brief look at some of Amazon's AWS services
Build an AWS dashboard using the concepts we have learned so far
