Programming Reactive Systems

Reactive programming is a set of techniques for implementing scalable, resilient and responsive systems as per the Reactive Manifesto. Such systems are based on asynchronous message-passing, and their basic building-blocks are event handlers. This course teaches how to implement reactive systems in Scala and Akka by using high-level abstractions, such as actors, asynchronous computations, and reactive streams. You will learn how to: - use, transform and sequence asynchronous computations using

• Understand back-pressure to control data flows
• Transform and consume infinite and intermittent data streams with Akka Stream
• Implement scalable systems based on varying workloads
• Design failure-resilient systems

• Basic programming knowledge
• Understanding of asynchronous programming concepts
