Practical Reactive Streams with Akka
Implement asynchronous, non-blocking reactive streams with backpressure
contains 8.5 hours of video - equivalent to 2 days of live training.
- This course will show you how to use Akka to build asynchronous, non-blocking reactive streams with back-pressure.
- Using practical examples we'll cover both the simple API and the GraphDSL.
- Learn how to correctly implement asynchronous boundaries, parallelism, integration with Akka Actors, and more.
