Building a CQRS application using the Scala Type System and Akka

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

First we'll show you how we can use the Scala Type System to build a domain model based on case classes and functional paradigms. Contrary to what common sense dictates, we'll demonstrate that functional programming is a very good fit for domain modeling.

Secondly we'll explore the available options when integrating it with Akka and Akka Persistence.

We'll cover the following points:

• The advantages and pitfalls of using Akka as a messaging subsystem

• How to reliably propagate events from the command side to the query side of your CQRS application

• How to recover from failure

• How to fit it in an asynchronous programming model

During this hands-on session we'll build a simple CQRS application based on Play and Akka.
