How can you make sure that your system is responsive, resilient enough to stay available in the event of failures, & elastic enough to stay responsive under heavy workloads? We all like to think our systems will scale, or we can simply throw more hardware at them, but in reality it's a much trickier problem than that.

In this session we'll take a look at how the actor model can help you architect reactive applications, both large & small, that are built to scale right from the beginning. As part of this we'll walk through real examples of using the Akka.NET framework, but the lessons & patterns will be applicable regardless of your actor framework of choice. We'll even look at how you can leverage Akka.NET in your mobile applications!
