Akka-Vert.x Demo

This project demonstrates fundamental differences between akka and vert.x.

To run the demo:

1. First, start cassandra with docker-compose up
2. Run the application (run vert.x first because akka doesnt' automatically initialize the schema on startup)
   • To run the vert.x application: gradle vertx-api:run
   • To run the akka application: gradle akka-base:run
3. Run the command line client: gradle cmd-interface:run

Modules

• akka-api - the akka demo application
• vertx-api - the vert.x demo application
• cmd-interface - the command line client for demonstrating both apis
• cassandra - some Cassandra utility classes
• event-log - a Cassandra based implementation of an event sourcing data model
• order - an implementation of an order API on top of event-log
