In this Lightbend Podcast, we sit down with Renato Cavalcanti, senior engineer on the Akka team to discuss the recent release of Akka Projections 1.0, a new addition to the Akka toolkit.

In this talk by Jonas Bonér, Lightbend CTO/Co-Founder and creator of Akka, we will explore the nature of events, what it means to be event-driven, and how we can unleash the power of events and commands by applying an events first, domain-driven design to microservices-based architectures.

In our continuing series on Design Techniques For Building Stateful Cloud-Native Applications (see Part 1 and Part 2), we now take a look at how messaging types, Event Sourcing, and CQRS apply to cloud-native design.

Join Hugh McKee, Akka expert and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, on an illustrated journey that goes deep into how Akka works–from individual Akka actors to fully distributed clusters across multiple datacenters.
