Akka.NET is a radically different way of developing concurrent and networked applications in .NET, and so it's important to have a number of high quality reference applications developers can explore in order to better understand how to design and model software using Actors and Akka.NET.
That's the goal of this repository - to provide a small number of exceptionally well-explained and documented examples .NET architects and developers can use to better understand how to take advantage of Akka.NET's full potential.
Doing Asynchronous Operations inside Actors with PipeTo - how to use Task<T> and async operations inside your actors using the PipeTo pattern in Akka.NET.
ASP.NET and Windows Service Microservices with Akka.Cluster - build an elastically scalable web-crawler using Akka.Cluster in Windows Services and ASP.NET MVC.
We accept pull requests for new samples or changes to existing ones, but we maintain a very high standard of quality.
Please see our PipeTo Sample for an example.
Any samples you want to submit must:
- Contain detailed comments in the source code;
- Have a detailed
READMEexplaining your architectural choices and data flows; - Be markedly distinct from any other sample in this repository;
- Be concise enough that a single developer can review it easily.
Please create a Github issue for any questions you might have.
