Networks and Types - The Future of Akka

Explore Akka's new Typed Actor APIs and over-the-network Akka Streams in this 47-minute Devoxx conference talk. Dive deep into how Akka marries Types with Networks while maintaining its Erlang-inspired "let it crash" approach to building Reactive Systems. Investigate trade-offs, failure scenarios, and healing mechanisms in cloud-native systems. Learn about message-driven systems, actor hierarchy, core actors, classic actors, and the benefits of type safety. Examine local to distributed transitions, receptionists, stream processing pipelines, and Reactive Streams. Discuss redelivery, closure, runtime weaving, type hierarchy, protocols, and stateful machines. Gain insights into Scala vs. Reactive approaches and the future of Akka for building resilient, self-healing distributed systems.
