In this podcast, QCon Chair Wesley Reisz talks to Julien Viet.  Viet is the project lead for Vert.x and a principal engineer at RedHat having taken over as project lead for Vert.x from Tim Fox in January 2016.  They talk about the newly released Vert.x 3.5.0, and the plans for Vert.x 4.0.

Why listen to this podcast:

• Vert.x adds RxJava2 support for streams and backpressure.
• Vert.x is a polyglot set of APIs, custom aligned for the specific language.
• It is unopinionated and can be used with any environments, since it doesn’t enforce a particular framework.
• Verticles communicate in-VM or through peer-to-peer networking for distributed applications.
• Vert.x 4.0 is on the roadmap for the future.
