Reactive Applications with Akka.NET

Chapter 6. Failure handling

This chapter covers

• Discovering where failures happen in asynchronous systems
• Understanding how actors in Akka.NET handle failure
• Dealing with failures in Akka.NET

First, you learned how to create simple actors in Akka.NET; then, you learned how to create more-complex actors that can react to changes in their environment by using state machines. Next, you learned how actors are configured in Akka.NET by using Props for individual actor deployments and HOCON for configuring the internals of the actor system. You know how to implement the principles of reactive systems. In chapter 3, you saw how to build actors that communicate asynchronously through message passing, which forms the building ...
