An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
According to Wikipedia, reactive programming is an asynchronous programming paradigm oriented around data streams and the propagation of change. Reactive programming approaches are at the heart of many massively scalable data streaming technologies, but coding following the reactive paradigm has generally required specialized, advanced skills.
Vantiq addresses this limitation of reactive programming by offering a low-code environment that facilitates rapid, simple construction of scalable, real-time apps with no programming knowledge necessary beyond basic JavaScript and SQL skills.
Furthermore, the only software infrastructure the resulting applications require for deployment is a JVM, enabling Vantiq’s customers to build highly distributable, peer-to-peer application architectures.
Among the most important use cases for Vantiq’s technology are high-volume Internet-of-Things (IoT) scenarios, as they involve massive numbers of streaming data sources interacting with numerous gateways or other intermediaries, all in real-time.
However, as streaming data and real-time behavior become increasingly central to enterprise digital initiatives, Vantiq will likely have a rapidly expanding addressable market well beyond its IoT sweet spot over the next few years.
