Description
In Akka in Action, Second Edition you will learn how to:
Akka in Action, Second Edition teaches you to use Akka Typed to solve common problems of distributed systems. You’ll learn how to bring together all of Akka’s moving parts to design and implement highly scalable and maintainable software. Extensively revised by Akka contributor Francisco López-Sancho Abraham, this new edition demonstrates Akka’s complex concepts through engaging hands-on examples. Discover the power of the Actor Model, how Akka works with Kubernetes, and how to utilize Akka modules to create microservices that are reliable and fault tolerant.
About the Technology
For large software systems, the action is in the “-ilities.” Scalability. Reliability. Maintainability. Capability. Akka, toolkit for building distributed message-driven applications, delivers on the “ilities.” And recent innovations, including Akka Typed, ensure that this amazing platform will remain the best way to build and deploy distributed Java and Scala applications for years to come.
About the Book
Akka in Action, Second Edition is your guide to building message-centric distributed applications systems. This new edition covers all features of Akka, including Akka Typed. You’ll learn to create microservices using Akka’s powerful suite of tools, Akka Sharding, Persistence, Streams, Persistence Query, Projections, and gRPC. Practical examples taken directly from industry guide you through clustering, deploying to Kubernetes, and taking full advantage of Akka’s Actors-based approach to concurrency.

About the Reader
For readers comfortable with Java and Scala.
About the Authors
Francisco Lopez Sancho-Abraham is a senior consultant at Lightbend, and a principal engineer on the Akka Team. Raymond Roestenburg, Rob Bakker, and Rob Williams are the authors of the first edition of Akka in Action.
Quotes
Akka in Action is the best source for a deep yet practical and hands-on introduction to Akka. In it, Francisco discusses everything from the foundational distributed systems stuff to how to integrate it with the more recent high-level modules like Alpakka and Akka Streams. Highly recommended.
- Jonas Bonér, Lightbend
All you need to start with Akka and the Actor Model.
- Rares Tausancea, ING
A gem that few books can match when it comes to Actors, CQRS, and Event Sourcing. For Scala and Java developers, it’s an essential read.
- Sebastian Harko, IBM
Delivers a powerful combination of easy-to-follow lessons on the Akka ecosystem and well-timed discussions on important topics in modern computing.
