Practical Reactive Streams with Akka and Java
Learn how to build asynchronous, non-blocking reactive streams with back-pressure - a really practical hands-on course
What you will learn
What are reactive streams and when should you use them
How to build asynchronous, non-blocking, reative streams with back-pressure
The Akka Streams API and GraphDSL
How to correctly implement asynchronous boundaries and parallelism
How to integrate Akka Actors into reactive streams
Why take this course?
This course builds on the "Practical Java concurrency with the Akka Actor Model" course and will extend your knowledge of using the actor model with Akka and Java to create reactive streams.
Reactive Streams are an essential tool in building real-world concurrent applications with the actor model – they allow us to build more complex processing scenarios, deal with varying data loads effectively, and provide the foundation for connecting our applications to external systems (which is covered in the Akka Http course).
For developers new to this technology it can be tough to get started, so in this course we cover everything from scratch. We build up the knowlege step by step, meaning you'll have no problems following along and understanding everything we do.
The course is full of practical real-world scenarios – we’ll be taking the blockchain mining application that we built in the Practical Java concurrency with the Akka Actor Model course a few steps further to make it even more realistic.
Please note that although Akka is built in Scala, no Scala knowledge is needed for this course - the course covers Akka with Java and we won't be writing any Scala code.
This course covers the newer Akka Typed API only.
