Summary
In this chapter, we did a quick summary of all the refactoring work we did throughout this book. It was a nice way to revisit our concerns from the first chapter, and how we alleviated them with features from the Akka toolkit.
We then discussed some tips and tricks for various parts of the Akka toolkit. We talked about the dangers of using Futures in actors and closing over mutable state. We also covered things like how to build out inbound and outbound HTTP logs for your Akka HTTP components, and some general best practices when using Akka Remoting and/or Akka Clustering.
We closed out the chapter with a discussion of some future reading materials to help expand on what we covered within this book. Hopefully this material will be useful to you as you continue your journey to master the complete Akka toolkit. Using all of your newfound knowledge, you should now be ready to start building your own scalable and reactive components on top of the complete Akka toolkit.
