Our Verdict
With a wide-ranging, hands-on approach to teaching classic Akka actor model concepts, this course empowers learners to design fault-tolerant systems using Scala. While it falls short on supplying up-to-date information and explicit best practice advice, the quality of instruction in this well-reviewed Udemy course shines through. Those looking to understand how Akka can be practically implemented should consider the course; however, they must also seek out more recent resources on their own when working with Scala 3 or newer Akka Framework versions.
What We Liked
- In-depth explanation of Akka's classic actor model and how it can be used for building parallel, concurrent and fault-tolerant systems
- Comprehensive coverage of topics from creating concurrent applications with actors to confidently testing actor systems
- Practical use cases that provide insights into real-world application of Akka patterns and best practices
- Quality instruction from an experienced teacher, delivering content in a clear, crisp manner
Potential Drawbacks
- Lack of explicit best practice suggestions for using actors in various scenarios could leave learners feeling uncertain about decision-making on real use cases
- Some minor issues such as unclear usefulness or rationale behind certain implementations, and outdated terminology being used
- No clear guidance focusing on new Scala 3 and Akka Framework versions, leaving students unsure of which technology to apply
