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.
This is a follow-on course to the Practical Concurrency with Akka course. You should have completed that course and be comfortable creating actors using the Akka Typed API before starting this course.
