Chapter 10. Integrating Akka.NET

 

This chapter covers

  • Designing custom protocols to receive and send data
  • Integrating with real-time connection mechanisms
  • Adding a web API frontend for web application communication

All the examples you’ve seen in the book so far have contained actors in actor systems and haven’t exposed them to the world. As you build actor applications, you want to make their data available for consumption by various technologies, of which there are many. The data in your actor systems might be sent to IoT devices to enable command-and-control-style scenarios; mobile apps and games for refreshing information on user devices, video game consoles for multiscreen gamer experiences; other cloud services responsible for other utilities; or websites (figure 10.1). In all these cases, you need to present the information stored in your actor system in the appropriate manner for each service.

Figure 10.1. An Akka.NET actor system may need to receive input from a number of different devices, all using different technologies.
