Akka is a popular toolkit that helps develop concurrent, scalable, resilient, and reactive applications in the JVM thanks to the actor model. The toolkit has been around for some years, so we can consider it as a mature technology. Moreover, it has been successfully implemented by many companies, such as Cisco, Amazon.com, and Groupon. This book helps you understand how Akka (and all the modules around it) work and provides a set of useful recipes to easily achieve several of the most common tasks. It also includes an introductory chapter on Lagom, the latest microservices framework by Lightbend, the company behind the development of Akka.
