Want to help your team to get up to speed with Akka Streams, enabling them to build powerful streaming data applictions? I have been working intensively with Akka since 2011 and am offering remote and in-house training for teams.

Summary

This one day course introduces experienced Akka developers to the Akka Streams API. Akka Streams enables the consumption of streaming data, in a fully non-blocking, asynchronous manner. It also allows us to consume that data while providing non-blocking backpressure to prevent mailbox overflows. Our goal is to learn the components that make up the Akka Streams API and how they interact. We will see a broad range of different Akka Streams components and have a chance to use many of them.

Objectives After having participated in this course participants should

  • understand the basic concepts of Akka Streams
  • know how to build linear streams using Sources, Sinks, and Flows
  • know how to implement fault tolerant streams
  • know how to introduce non-linear graph shapes into your streams
  • be confident to start using Akka Streams in production systems

Curriculum

  • Sources
  • Sinks
  • Flows
  • Runnable Graphs
  • Fault Tolerance
  • Graphs
  • Fusing

Audience

Scala application developers wishing to learn the Akka Streams API.

Prerequisites
