Mastering Akka

By: Christian Baxter

Overview of this book

For a programmer, writing multi-threaded applications is critical as it is important to break large tasks into smaller ones and run them simultaneously. Akka is a distributed computing toolkit that uses the abstraction of the Actor model, enabling developers to build correct, concurrent, and distributed applications using Java and Scala with ease. The book begins with a quick introduction that simplifies concurrent programming with actors. We then proceed to master all aspects of domain-driven design. We’ll teach you how to scale out with Akka Remoting/Clustering. Finally, we introduce Conductr as a means to deploy to and manage microservices across a cluster.

Refactoring homework


The refactoring homework for this chapter will involve getting rid of unfiltered and dispatch it in the bookstore-code base and replacing it with Akka HTTP. I have done the work of creating the framework-level code that you will build on top of. I'll break down what needs to be done for both outbound and inbound HTTP changes separately, in the following sections. As always, you will do your work in the -incomplete code base, and you can consult what I did in the -complete code base if you get stuck.

Inbound HTTP changes

Your inbound HTTP homework will involve creating Akka HTTP routes for the sales-order-processing and user-management modules. I have already fully updated the routes handling code in the inventory-services module. You can look at it and let it serve as the guide on how you finish the changes in the other modules. One thing you will notice is that the api root is not contained in the routes definition. As this is a common concern across all routes, it is...
