USE THE ACTOR MODEL TO BUILD SIMPLER SYSTEMS WITH BETTER PERFORMANCE AND SCALABILITY
Enterprise software development has been much more difficult and failure-prone than it needs to be. Now, veteran software engineer and author Vaughn Vernon offers an easier and more rewarding method to succeeding with Actor model. Reactive Messaging Patterns with the Actor Model shows how the reactive enterprise approach, Actor model, Scala, and Akka can help you overcome previous limits of performance and scalability, and skillfully address even the most challenging non-functional requirements.
Reflecting his own cutting-edge work, Vernon shows architects and developers how to translate the longtime promises of Actor model into practical reality. First, he introduces the tenets of reactive software, and shows how the message-driven Actor model addresses all of them-making it possible to build systems that are more responsive, resilient, and elastic. Next, he presents a practical Scala bootstrap tutorial, a thorough introduction to Akka and Akka Cluster, and a full chapter on maximizing performance and scalability with Scala and Akka.
Building on this foundation, you'll learn to apply enterprise application and integration patterns to establish message channels and endpoints; efficiently construct, route, and transform messages; and build robust systems that are simpler and far more successful.

Vaughn Vernon is a veteran software craftsman and thought leader in simplifying software design and implementation. The author of the best-selling Implementing Domain-Driven Design (Addison-Wesley, 2013), he has taught his IDDD Workshop to hundreds of software developers worldwide, consults, and speaks frequently at industry conferences. Vaughn's interests include distributed computing, messaging, and Actor model. He first used Akka in 2012 on a GIS system and has specialized in applying Actor model with Domain-Driven Design ever since. He discusses his latest work at VaughnVernon.co and on Twitter at @VaughnVernon.
