It is the time rethink the way we build HTTP applications. Instead of the thread per request model, let us explore how to leverage non-blocking and asynchronous model using Ratpack.

14. Ratpack Goals

15. Fast,
scalable,
& efficient

16. Allow applications to
evolve in complexity
without compromise

17. leverage the benefits of
non-blocking
programming and
reduce the costs

18. flexible and
unopinionated in
integrating other tools
and libraries

19. Testability

20. Not a full-stack
solution

21. Architecture

22. Non Blocking
