Hands on Introduction to Distributed Systems Concepts with Akka Clustering

Explore distributed systems concepts through a hands-on demonstration using Akka Clustering and Raspberry Pi's in this conference talk from Scala Days New York 2016. Dive into the complexities of cluster membership, partitions, system scaling, and node failures. Learn about high availability, cluster management, gossip protocols, and leader election through a gamified physical model. Gain insights into the eight fallacies of distributed systems, information passing methods, failure detection, cluster singletons, cluster leaders, partition handling, and distributed data. Engage with a practical demo and test your understanding with a quiz. Perfect for those seeking a tangible and interactive approach to grasping distributed systems principles.
