For a programmer, writing multi-threaded applications is critical as it is important to break large tasks into smaller ones and run them simultaneously. Akka is a distributed computing toolkit that uses the abstraction of the Actor model, enabling developers to build correct, concurrent, and distributed applications using Java and Scala with ease. The book begins with a quick introduction that simplifies concurrent programming with actors. We then proceed to master all aspects of domain-driven design. We’ll teach you how to scale out with Akka remoting/clustering. Finally, we introduce Conductr as a means to deploy to and manage microservices across a cluster. What You Will Learn: ✓ Use Akka actors to enable parallel execution ✓ Build out domain-driven design based components like entities and aggregates ✓ Respond to command requests on that aggregate root that affect the internal state ✓ Leverage Akka Persistence, protobuf and Cassandra to save the persistent state of you entities ✓ Build out complex processing graphs with the Graph Builder DSL ✓ Understand the dynamic push/pull nature of backpressure handling within Akka Streams ✓ Route HTTP requests to an actor and return a response ✓ Deploy actor instances across a set of nodes via ConductR for high availability ------------- Our members see more.
