Drinking a River of IoT Data with Akka.NET

Explore how to process massive streams of IoT data using Akka.NET in this conference talk from GOTO Copenhagen 2021. Dive into the challenges of scaling software for millions of connected devices and learn how the actor model implemented in Akka.NET can simplify development of stateful, concurrent code. Follow along as the speaker covers the history of actor systems, introduces Akka.NET, and demonstrates its application in handling IoT data streams. Gain insights into implementation details such as normalizing measurements, routing messages to the ActorSystem, persisting data, and managing restart behaviors. Discover strategies for scaling and improving resiliency in large-scale IoT systems, and explore potential pitfalls and considerations when working with Akka.NET.
