August Scala Monthly Meetup

We are delighted to have Joost Heijkoop (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joostheijkoop) at our next meetup, who is flying all the way from Amsterdam to give us the following talk:

GIVE YOUR AKKA PERSISTENCE STAMINA - AN INTERACTIVE GUIDE

"If you want to do event sourcing with Akka actors, persisting can hard and tedious when using contemporary persisting solutions. This will show what you need to do to use Akka Persistence with Stamina, so that your persisting becomes easy as cake!"

(Joost is a "Software developer working at Xebia (https://www.xebia.com/), organiser at Amsterdam.scala (https://www.meetup.com/amsterdam-scala/), always looking to learn, share, teach and meet new people")

The meetup will consist of:

• his talk (ca. 45 min - small break in-between) followed by a ...

• workshop where we can try out his Akka-persistence toolkit (https://github.com/scalapenos/stamina) in question.

Be sure to have a functioning Scala setup (sbt / IDE) on your laptop (Internet will be provided ;-). As the talk is titled "an interactive guide", you will also be able to follow along during the talk if you want to.
