Chapter 12. Building clustered applications with Akka.Cluster

This chapter covers

Creating elastically scalable actor systems across multiple machines
Interacting with Akka.NET cluster infrastructure in an actor system
Applying Akka.NET concepts to clustered applications

You know that a reactive application depends on systems that are responsive, regardless of system failures, failures in external dependencies, or increased load; and you’ve seen numerous tools and design methodologies to help you achieve that end. You’ve seen how to get around many of the problems relating to fault tolerance and scalability when running on a single machine through the use of Akka.Remote.
