It's a toolkit that provides an actor programming model, a runtime, and required support tools for building scalable applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAkka in Action\u003c\/i\u003e shows you how to build message-oriented systems with Akka. This comprehensive, hands-on tutorial introduces each concept with a working example. You'll start with the big picture of how Akka works, and then quickly build and deploy a fully functional REST service out of actors. You'll explore test-driven development and deploying and scaling fault-tolerant systems. After mastering the basics, you'll discover how to model immutable messages, implement domain models, and apply techniques like event sourcing and CQRS. You'l also find a tutorial on building streaming applications using akka-stream and akka-http. Finally, you'l get practical advice on how to customize and extend your Akka system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGetting concurrency right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTesting and performance tuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClustered and cloud-based applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers Akka version 2.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book assumes that you're comfortable with Java and Scala.
