Scala Reactive Programming: Build scalable, functional reactive microservices with Akka, Play, and Lagom
Build fault-tolerant, robust, and distributed applications in Scala
Key Features- Understand and use the concepts of reactive programming to build distributed systems running on multiple nodes.- Learn how reactive architecture reduces complexity throughout the development process.- Get to grips with functional reactive programming and Reactive Microservices.Book DescriptionReactive programming is a scalable, fast way to build applications, and one that helps us write code that is concise, clear, and readable. It can be used for many purposes such as GUIs, robotics, music, and others, and is central to many concurrent systems. This book will be your guide to getting started with Reactive programming in Scala.
You will begin with the fundamental concepts of Reactive programming and gradually move on to working with asynchronous data streams. You will then start building an application using Akka Actors and extend it using the Play framework. You will also learn about reactive stream specifications, event sourcing techniques, and different methods to integrate Akka Streams into the Play Framework. This book will also take you one step forward by showing you the advantages of the Lagom framework while working with reactive microservices. You will also learn to scale applications using multi-node clusters and test, secure, and deploy your microservices to the cloud.
By the end of the book, you will have gained the knowledge to build robust and distributed systems with Scala and Akka.

It is quite up-to-date (at the time of reading) with the frameworks it presented. I would recommend skipping the Scala related chapter. To be honest it might have been just a stylistic experiment, but I did not like the (over)usage of "well" at the ends of the chapters/paragraphs.

Frankly I don't think this book is worth buying. It's mix of "Programming in Scala", "Akka in Action", "Reactive Design Patterns", "Functional Programming in Scala" and official documentation but badly structured.
