Look inside

Akka is a toolkit that simplifies the process of building concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant applications and systems without compromising performance. Written in Scala, Akka uses a module system for implementation and an approach to concurrency based on the actor model.

This easy-to-follow course provides a great introduction to the basics of Akka and distributed computing. You will learn these fundamentals by working with hands-on examples so you can put the concepts into action and see how they work. By the end of this course, you will have experience working with: actors, futures, routing, scheduling, and more.

If you are an Akka newbie looking to get a great foundation in Akka and distributed computing, you've come to the right place!
