How To Extend Akka Resilience And Scalability Across Datacenters
View on Slideshare
By now, you’ve probably heard of Akka, the JVM toolkit of choice for companies like Verizon, Intel, PayPal, Norwegian Cruise Lines and Samsung when it comes to building scalable, resilient and resource efficient applications in Java or Scala. With over 12 open-source and commercial modules in the toolkit, Akka takes developers from actors on a single JVM, all the way out to network partition healing and clusters of servers distributed across fleets of JVMs.
In this technical webinar, O’Reilly author and Lightbend Developer Advocate, Hugh McKee, takes you on a deep dive into advanced Akka features for enhanced application resilience, elasticity, and responsiveness.
Building on real-world examples from his past experience as an Akka developer, Hugh will show how you can take advantage of:
- Akka Multi-Data Center Clustering or improving reliability across multiple data centers, availability zones or regions.
- Logically grouping related nodes in large clusters to improve stability and scalability.
- Akka Multi-Data Center Persistence for increased fault tolerance, locating data near the user, and balancing the load across data centers.
- Akka Cluster Sharding in a multi data center environment, to optimize shard locality within a single data center and go Active-Active for improved resilience and availability.
