9. 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

10. The concurrent & distributed applications toolkit Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

11. Actors – Concurrency / high perf. messaging Cluster – Location transparent, resilient clusters Persistence – EventSourcing support (many DBs) Distributed Data – Availability-first gossiped CRDTs HTTP – Fully Async & Reactive Http Server (Websockets, Http/2) soon:  Typed – really well-typed Actors, coming this year …and much more (kafka, cassandra, testing, …)

12. “Stream”

13. “Stream” なんですか？ 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

14. Suddenly everyone jumped on the word “Stream”. Akka Streams / Reactive Streams started end-of-2013. “Streams” * when put in “” the word does not appear in project name, but is present in examples / style of APIs / wording.

15. Suddenly everyone jumped on the word “Stream”. Akka Streams / Reactive Streams started end-of-2013. The word “Stream” is used in many contexts/meanings Akka Streams Reactive Streams RxJava “streams”* Spark Streaming Apache Storm “streams”* Java Steams (JDK8) Reactor “streams”* Kafka Streams ztellman / Manifold (Clojure) * when put in “” the word does not appear in project name, but is present in examples / style of APIs / wording. Apache GearPump “streams” Apache [I] Streams (!) Apache [I] Beam “streams” Apache [I] Quarks “streams” Apache [I] Airﬂow “streams” (dead?) Apache [I] Samza Scala Stream Scalaz Streams, now known as FS2 Swave.io Java InputStream / OutputStream / … :-) 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

16. “Stream” What does it mean?! • Possibly inﬁnite datasets (“streams”) • “Streams are NOT collections.” • Processed element-by-element • Element could mean “byte” • More usefully though it means a speciﬁc type “T” • Asynchronous processing • Asynchronous boundaries (between threads) • Network boundaries (between machines) 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

17. The new “big data” is “fast data”. Enabled by reactive building blocks. “Fast Data” 2017年: 安定版。リアクティブストリーム付きの JDK9。

18. The typical “big data” architecture ever since Hadoop entered the market Legacy Hadoop architectures would mostly look like this: (legacy, batch oriented architectures) 典型的な「ビッグデータ」アーキテクチャ

19. The typical “big data” architecture ever since Hadoop entered the market Legacy Hadoop architectures would mostly look like this: (legacy, batch oriented architectures) 典型的な「ビッグデータ」アーキテクチャ

20. Fast Data – architecture example Many of these technologies compose together into what we call Fast Data architectures. 典型的な「ビッグデータ」アーキテクチャ

21. Fast Data – architecture example It’s like big-data, but FAST - which often implies various kinds of streaming. 典型的な「ビッグデータ」アーキテクチャ

22. Where does Akka Stream fit? Akka Streams specifically fits, if you answer yes to any of these: • Should it take on public traffic? • Processing in hot path for requests? • Integrate various technologies? • Protect services from over-load? • Introspection, debugging, excellent Akka integration? • (vs. other reactive-stream impls.) 以上の質問に「はい」と答えた場合は Akka Stream に向いている

23. How do I pick which “streaming” I need? Kafka serves best as a transport for pub-sub across services. • Note that Kafka Streams (db ops are on the node)   is rather, different than the Reactive Kafka client • Great for cross-service communication   instead of HTTP Request / Reply Kafka はサービス間の pub-sub 通信に向いている HTTP の代わりにサービス間の通信に使う

24. How do I pick which “streaming” I need? Spark has vast libraries for ML or join etc ops. • It’s the “hadoop replacement”. • Spark Streaming is windowed-batches • Latency anywhere up from 0.5~1second • Great for cross-service communication   instead of HTTP Req/Reply Spark は機械学習系が充実している

25. Oh yeah, there’s JDK8 “Stream” too! Terrible naming decision IMHO, since Java’s .stream() • Geared for collections • Best for ﬁnite and known-up-front data • Lazy, sync/async (async rarely used) • Very (!) hard to extend It’s the opposite what we talk about in Streaming systems! It’s more:“bulk collection operations” Also known as… Scala collections API (i.e. Iterator JDK8 の Stream はイテレータ的なもの

26. What about JDK9 “Flow”? JDK9 introduces java.util.concurrent.Flow • Is a 1:1 copy of the Reactive Streams interfaces • On purpose, for people to be able to impl. it • Does not provide useful implementations • Is only the inter-op interfaces • Libraries like Akka Streams implement RS,  and expose useful APIs for you to use. JDK9 の Flow はリアクティブ・ストリーム

67. What if the buffer overﬂows? Push model

68. Use bounded buffer, drop messages + require re-sending Push model

70. Increase buffer size… Well, while you have memory available! Push model

73. Fast Publisher will send at-most 3 elements. This is pull-based-backpressure. Reactive Streams: “dynamic push/pull”

80. Already made a huge industry impact Reactive Streams

81. Back-pressure as a feature

82. Inspiring other technologies

83. Inspiring other technologies It’s been a while since Java inspired other modern technologies, hasn’t it?

84. The implementation. Complete and awesome Java and Scala APIs. As everything since day 1 in Akka. Akka Streams

85. Akka Streams in 20 seconds: // types: Source[Out, Mat] Flow[In, Out, Mat] Sink[In, Mat] // generally speaking, it's always: val ready = Source.from…(???).via(flow).map(i => i * 2).to(sink) val mat: Mat = ready.run() // the usual example: val f: Future[String] = Source.single(1).map(i => i.toString).runWith(Sink.head) Proper static typing!

86. Akka Streams in 20 seconds: // types: _ Source[Int, NotUsed] Flow[Int, String, NotUsed] Sink[String, Future[String]] Source.single(1).map(i => i / 0).runWith(Sink.head)
