We see a new trend in development where we are shifting from developing applications to APIs. More and more we see services being offered as REST APIs that we are allowed to consume.

This is a starting guide for securing Vert.x web applications. Standard rules and practices apply to Vert.x apps as if they would to any other web framework.

One of the interesting features of Vert.x is the SockJS event bus bridge. It allows external applications to communicate with Vert.x event bus using Websockets.

Let’s refresh our mind about what we developed so far in the introduction to vert.x series. We forgot an important task. We didn’t test the API.

This post is part of the Introduction to Vert.x series. Let’s go a bit further this time and develop a CRUD-ish application

In our previous post, we developed a very simple Vert.x 3 application, and saw how this application can be tested, packaged and executed. That was nice, wasn’t it?

Let’s say, you heard someone saying that Vert.x is awesome. Ok great, but you may want to try it by yourself. Well, the next natural question is “where do I start ?”

In programming literature it has become the standard to create a hello world program as the first example. In this article, I’ll demonstrate how NPM users can quickly get started with Vert.x.

So while upgrading our application, I thought I should note down all the changes that we had to do in the process. Since Vert.x 3 is a major upgrade from the previous version, with so many changes.
