Akka example: Deploy an actor system locally, remote, and on a cluster

This example shows three different ways to deploy an actor system. First, you need to clone / download this repository.

Lookup Example

The example is a very simple actor system consisting of three actors: The master actor is used to lookup lastnames for a given firstname. The lookup actors look up a given firstname in a hashmap and send back the lastname. After getting both lastnames for "Martin" ("Odersky") and "Viktor" ("Klang"), the master actor stops.

Deploy on your local machine

In order to deploy the system on your local machine run the following command:

activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Local"

Deploy lookup actors on a remote machine

In order to deploy the system on your local machine run the following command:

activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Remote"

If you want to deploy the lookup actors on a remote machine run the following two commands:

activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Remote Worker"
activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Remote Master"

Deploy the actors in a cluster

In order to deploy the system in a cluster run the following three commands:

activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Clustering Worker 13371"
activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Clustering Worker 13372"
activator "run-main de.scala_bs.wille.akka.deployByConfigExample.Clustering Master"
