Reactive Summit 2021

Mukund and Srini will be presenting their experience in how Akka was used in solving some of the complex use cases with a major Airline. Our systems enable airlines to plan flight schedules, manage capacity and book cargo. The Airlines have a need to handle transactions/messages from various internal and external sources as close to near-real time as possible and failure to do so could mean wider impacts across the systems. Flight Schedules and operational flight events processing use cases require self-healing and high throughput processing, where Akka came to the rescue with clear abstraction from complexities involved to scale horizontally while developers having to focus mainly on business needs. We want to share our journey, challenges and lessons learned in building this reactive scalable flight event processing engine.
