Akka HTTP with Scala

The document is a presentation by Mohd Alimuddin discussing Akka HTTP, which is a suite of libraries focused on HTTP integration for applications using Akka actors and streams. It covers essential concepts such as marshalling, unmarshalling, and the distinction between low-level and high-level APIs. Additionally, it emphasizes etiquette during sessions and guidelines for providing constructive feedback.
![Directives & Routes
● A Directives is a small building block used for creating arbitrary complex
route structures.
● Routes are highly specialized functions that take a RequestContext and
eventually complete it which happens asynchronously.
● Each Routes is composed of one or more Directives that handles one specific
kind of request.
type Route = RequestContext => Future[RouteResult]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/akkahttpwithscalabymohdalimuddin1-210614151059/85/Akka-HTTP-with-Scala-11-320.jpg)

- 2. Lack of etiquette and manners is a huge turn off. KnolX Etiquettes Punctuality Respect Knolx session timings, you are requested not to join sessions after a 5 minutes threshold post the session start time. Feedback Make sure to submit a constructive feedback for all sessions as it is very helpful for the presenter. Silent Mode Keep your mobile devices in silent mode, feel free to move out of session in case you need to attend an urgent call. Avoid Disturbance Avoid unwanted chit chat during the session.

- 4. What is Akka HTTP? ● Akka HTTP is a suite of libraries whose focuses is on HTTP integration of an application. ● Akka HTTP is based on Akka actors and Akka streams. ● It is fully asynchronous and non blocking. ● Akka HTTP is not a framework but a toolkit which means it can be used on the top of other framework such as Play and Lagom.
- 5. What is Akka and Akka Actors? ● Akka is an free and open source toolkit which is used to make highly concurrent, distributed and fault tolerant applications on JVM. ● Akka uses actor model system which first introduced by Carl Eddie Hewitt in 1973. ● Actors represents computation unit which encapsulates its state and application logic. ● Each actors uses asynchronous messages to interact with other actors and actors uses mailbox to process all the messages.
- 6. Akka Actors ● Messages are handled by Message Handler and are extracted from the mailbox in order of FIFO. ● Actors guarantees the message order is always maintained. ● Actors guarantees the messages are never duplicated.
- 7. What is Akka streams ? ● Akka streams implements Reactive streams using Akka actors concurrent model. ● Akka streams has three major components Source, Flow and Sink which are equivalent of Publisher, Processor and Subscriber. ● Source emits element or data asynchronously ● Flow transform elements, can perform computations ● Sink receives elements Source Flow Sink
- 8. Marshalling and Unmarshalling ● In Akka HTTP, marshalling means the conversion of an object of type T into a lower-level target, e.g a MessageEntity or HttpRequest or HttpResponse. Marshalling is also known as Serialization or Pickling. ● In Akka HTTP, unmarshalling means the conversion of a lower-level source object e.g MessageEntity or HttpRequest or HttpResponse into a instance of type T. Unmarshalling is also known as Deserialization or Unpickling
- 9. Low-Level API ● The low-level Akka HTTP server API allows for handling connections or individual request by accepting HTTP Requests and answering them by producing HTTP Responses. ● This is provided by the akka-http-core module. ● Low Level API based simply on mapping request to response.
- 10. High-Level API ● Low Level API becomes uneasy to handle when we need to create a large number of routes and complex applications. To solve this we use High-Level API. ● High-Level API can be divided into two important parts- ● Directives ● Routes
- 11. Directives & Routes ● A Directives is a small building block used for creating arbitrary complex route structures. ● Routes are highly specialized functions that take a RequestContext and eventually complete it which happens asynchronously. ● Each Routes is composed of one or more Directives that handles one specific kind of request. type Route = RequestContext => Future[RouteResult]
