Content:

Akka is the implementation of the Aktor model on the JVM. Akka allows the development of real cloud-native applications according to the reactive principles (The Reactive Manifesto). Akka enables clean competitive programming and correct design of distributed systems. Akka systems are resilient, powerful, elastic and decentralized.

Together we will incrementally build a sample application that illustrates the following topics:
- Akka overview
- actors
- messaging
- location
- cluster
- sharding
- singleton
- deployment on Kubernetes
- event-sourcing
- streaming
- persistence
- split-brain
- etc.
We focus on a specific selection of topics to look at and understand in detail.

Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

At the end of the course, participants will be able to build cloud-native applications with Akka. And when it comes to concurrency or distributed systems, attendees will instinctively want to use messaging between actors.

Form:

while(true) {Code... Coffee... Code...}
And if we need breaks with the code then abstract on the whiteboard and slides.... But real breaks are there too!

Target Audience:

Software developers who want to use Akka with Scala or Java in projects.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of developing with Scala or Java.

Preparation:

Each participant will receive a questionnaire with installation instructions after registration. According to the answers we send an individual feedback. We recommend the use of IntelliJ and sdkman.

Waitinglist for public course:

Sign up for the waiting list for more public course dates. Once we have enough people on the waiting list, we will determine a date that suits everyone as much as possible and schedule a new session. If you want to participate directly with two colleagues, we can even plan a public course specifically for you.
