Akka Cluster – Up and Running

Truly reactive systems must be distributed and Akka offers powerful tools like Cluster Sharding and Distributed Data which make writing these an easy task. But when it comes to running an Akka Cluster in production it is necessary to understand its workings in detail.

In this talk, we explain core features like joining and leaving of member nodes and the failure detector, explore different ways to bootstrap a cluster, discover how to monitor and keep a cluster healthy and more.
