Akka for Java Professional

Akka for Java Professional

Overview

This course introduces experienced Java developers to the Akka framework, focusing on building distributed, concurrent, and reactive applications. Through hands-on exercises and real-world scenarios, participants will learn to implement the Actor model, manage fault tolerance, and develop scalable systems using Akka.

Objectives

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Design resilient and elastic applications using the Actor model.

  • Configure, test, and deploy Akka applications.

  • Implement event-driven, asynchronous systems with Akka.

  • Manage actor lifecycle, failure handling, and state transitions.

  • Use advanced features like routers, dispatchers, and Akka Typed API.

Prerequisites

  • Proficiency in Java 8 or higher, including experience with the Lambda API.
  • Basic understanding of concurrent programming and distributed systems.
  • A laptop with Java 8 installed for hands-on exercises.
