Overview of this book

Akka is an open source toolkit that simplifies the construction of distributed and concurrent applications on the JVM. This book will teach you how to develop reactive applications in Scala using the Akka framework. This book will show you how to build concurrent, scalable, and reactive applications in Akka. You will see how to create high performance applications, extend applications, build microservices with Lagom, and more. We will explore Akka's actor model and show you how to incorporate concurrency into your applications. The book puts a special emphasis on performance improvement and how to make an application available for users. We also make a special mention of message routing and construction. By the end of this book, you will be able to create a high-performing Scala application using the Akka framework.

Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We create a project build definition file called build.sbt by executing a simple
sbt command."

A block of code is set as follows:

import akka.actor.Props
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
object BehaviourAndState extends App {
val actorSystem = ActorSystem("HelloAkka")
// creating an actor inside the actor system
val actor = actorSystem.actorOf(Props[SummingActor])
// print actor path
println(actor.path)
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

sbt "runMain com.packt.chapter1.BehaviorAndState"
akka://HelloAkka/user/$a

New terms and important words are shown in bold.
