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.

Summary

In this chapter, we did a quick summary of all the refactoring work we did throughout this book. It was a nice way to revisit our concerns from the first chapter, and how we alleviated them with features from the Akka toolkit.

We then discussed some tips and tricks for various parts of the Akka toolkit. We talked about the dangers of using Futures in actors and closing over mutable state. We also covered things like how to build out inbound and outbound HTTP logs for your Akka HTTP components, and some general best practices when using Akka Remoting and/or Akka Clustering.

We closed out the chapter with a discussion of some future reading materials to help expand on what we covered within this book. Hopefully this material will be useful to you as you continue your journey to master the complete Akka toolkit. Using all of your newfound knowledge, you should now be ready to start building your own scalable and reactive components on top of the complete Akka toolkit.
