Akka

Akka 101

● Toolkit to build concurrent apps

● “ “ “ distributed “

● Actors can be created/disposed at will

● Small memory footprint

● Hierarchical failure / supervision management

supervises

Akka

● Actors’ mailbox can be unbounded or bounded but dropping

● Actors interaction: can be complex

● Message passing === messages flow

● Messages are handled in an untyped fashion*

* This is being addressed with Typed Actors

Akka

Akka-Streams:

- Sequence of ephemeral elements

- Possibly unbounded

- Can be transformed/mapped

- Immutable, reusable, shareable

- Use bounded buffers

- Compose to build complex streams

- Explicit materialization of a blueprint
