Interactive Introduction To Building Highly Available Systems with Actors
Interactive introduction to building highly available systems with actors
Please bring your laptop and your favourite language with a Websocket client library. A scripting language such as Python or Ruby would be ideal, or any language with a REPL for rapid interactive development.
This talk is also applicable to those using the JVM or .NET runtime as both platforms have libraries such as Akka which implement the Actor model over traditional threads.
