My Notes to get started with Vertx.

Step 1 : Add the dependency in your application.
Maven application: Add the below dependency.

Step 2 :

1. Implement a verticle.
2. Verticles is a component you deploy using vertex.
3. Verticle has a start and stop method
4. You can deploy a new verticle inside another verticle

Event Bus : 

Verticles listen to messages from the event bus. Or write messages to the event bus.

1. Listen to messages via an event bus and an address.
2. Send messages or publish to an event bus.
