Akka Training Courses

Akka is an open-source toolkit and runtime for building concurrent and distributed applications for Java and Scala.

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at developers, especially Java developers. Participants will learn the design principles behind Akka, including the Actor Model and Reactive Manifesto, as they build and deploy an Akka application.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Build and deploy an asynchronous, message-driven application in Akka.
- Apply the "let it crash" model to build applications that self-heal.
- Understand Actors, the Actor Lifecycle and how to employ them to create concurrent systems.
- Build Reactive Architecture that is responsive, elastic, resilient, and message driven.
- Integrate remoting and clustering features with third party systems.
- Deploy the Akka toolkit in production systems, scaling it to multiple nodes and third party systems.
- Manage system behavior and horizontal distribution.
- Build systems that "react" to environmental changes.

Audience

- Developers, in particular Java developers
- Architects

Format of the course

- Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

Course Customization Options

- This course can be taught in either Java or Scala.

Akka is an open-source library and runtime for building concurrent and distributed applications that run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at experienced Akka developers who wish to scale out their applications to multiple nodes and 3rd party systems.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Take advantage of Akka's advanced features to extend their existing Akka applications
- Develop and deploy complex, large-scale applications.
- Scale an existing application beyond a single JVM.

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.

This training outline is intended to bring attendees from a beginner to an intermediate/advanced level in the understanding and knowledge of the Akka framework.

The entire course is hands on, mostly driven by the trainer in the beginning and progressively shifting towards the attendees producing code themselves (and downloading implementations/solutions written by the trainer).

Attendees are not expected to have prior knowledge of Scala, the trainer will take the necessary time to explain and clarify all the intricacies that relate to the Scala code used.

Akka is an open-source library and runtime for building concurrent and distributed applications that run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). The akka-streams library sits atop Akka and enables the processing of data streams.

This instructor-led, live training (onsite or remote) is aimed at experienced Akka developers who wish to use the Akka Streams API to write applications for consuming streaming data.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

- Understand the principles of streams and how they are implemented in Akka.
- Use the various Akka Streams API components to build fault tolerant streams.
- Deploy an Akka Streams application to production.

Format of the Course

- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
