Video description

In Video Editions the narrator reads the book while the content, figures, code listings, diagrams, and text appear on the screen. Like an audiobook that you can also watch as a video.

"Does an excellent job explaining Reactive architecture and design, starting with first principles and putting them into a practical context."
From the Foreword by Jonas Boner, creator of Akka

Reactive Design Patterns is a clearly written guide for building message-driven distributed systems that are resilient, responsive, and elastic. In this book you'll find patterns for messaging, flow control, resource management, and concurrency, along with practical issues like test-friendly designs. All patterns include concrete examples using Scala and Akka.

Inside:
  • The definitive guide to the Reactive Manifesto
  • Patterns for flow control, delimited consistency, fault tolerance, and much more
  • Hard-won lessons about what doesn't work
  • Architectures that scale under tremendous load
Most examples use Scala, Java, and Akka. Readers should be familiar with distributed systems.

Dr. Roland Kuhn led the Akka team at Lightbend and coauthored the Reactive Manifesto. Brian Hanafee and Jamie Allen are experienced distributed systems architects.

If the 'Reactive Manifesto' gave us a battle cry, this work gives us the strategic handbook for battle.
Joel Kotarski, The Rawlings Group

An engaging tour of distributed computing and the building blocks of responsive, resilient software.

This book is so reactive, it belongs on the left-hand side of the periodic table!
