what?

Platform for next generation, event driven, scalable and fault tolerant architectures on the

JVM.

issues

concurrency

scalability

fault tolerance


5/31

5

why akka

simpler concurrency

event driven

scale up or scale out

fault tolerance

remoting

scala and java api

aha actors!message-Passing Concurrency

share NOTHING

isolated lightweight processes

communicates through messages

asynchronous and non-blocking


7/31

7

actors

defined in the 1973 paper by Carl Hewitt

popularized by Erlang

alleviates the devfrom explicit locking

and thread management

easy to write concurrent and parallel systems

actors like objects BUT dont share state


8/31

8

actor models

Thread-basedEvent-based

Very lightweight

can easily create millions on a singleworkstation

(6.5 million on 4 G RAM )
