Akka post-mortem in a microservice architecture
summary
Akka actor framework is shown as a key component for building reactive microservice architectures, including examples of streaming, implementing a TCP protocol, creating a lightweight HTTP server for an API, and writing a client to consume that API. The presentation gives real-world use cases and a retrospective (REX) on applying Akka (and its Play! integration) in microservice-based reactive systems.
