Packaging and deploying the Akka standalone application

After developing any application, we package it as a distribution/assembly to run on any platform. In this trick, you will learn how to package an Akka application into a distribution and how to deploy it to run as a standalone application.

Getting ready

We will use the SBT assembly plugin to package the application into a fat jar. Just import the Hello-Akka project into the IDE. We are assuming that you have a working knowledge of SBT and its assembly plugin.

How to do it…

For every SBT project, we have an assembly.sbt file in the project's project folder. If the file is not present, then we create one.

Add the SBT assembly plugin dependency in the file:

        addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-assembly" % "0.14.3")

Now go to the project root directory and run the sbt update command from the command line and it will download the plugin dependency jar.
Now go to the project root directory and run the sbt assembly command to package the...

Learn Scala Programming

Learn Scala Programming

Today's Scala is quite different from its earlier versions. The second version of the language is more than twelve years old and has undergone multiple changes related to supported features and library implementation. This book addresses both technical and architectural changes by providing a comprehensive guide to the redesigned standard library and collections as well as covering in-depth type system and first-level support for functions. Finally, you will build projects using the knowledge learned previously to build microservices and learn how to implement them with Scala and Lagom framework.
