Dennis Vriend is a professional with more than 10 years of experience in programming for the Java Virtual Machine. Over the last 4 years, Dennis has been developing and designing fault tolerant, scalable, distributed, and highly performant systems using Scala, Akka, and Spark, and maintaining them across multiple servers. Dennis is active in the open source community and maintains two very successful Akka plugins—the akka-persistence-jdbc plugin and the akka-persistence-inmemory plugin—both useful to design and test state of the art business components leveraging domain-driven design and event sourcing in a distributed environment. Dennis is currently working as a software development engineer for Trivento in the Netherlands.

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.
