Essential Akka (Scala / Java)

Akka provides a toolkit for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications for Java and Scala.

In this course you will learn how to use Akka in Java to create highly concurrent applications that are capable of improved scalability within a single JVM. These applications can have increased resiliency through the use of supervision hierarchies.

This course will provide the foundational knowledge you need to begin exploring other Akka features such as Akka Cluster, Akka Streams, and Akka HTTP.
