Everything you need to become an expert Akka/Apache Pekko developer. Master Akka/Apache Pekko with Scala and distributed JVM applications through clear lessons, practical exercises, and a smooth learning curve. Ideal for those with some programming experience, this bundle will take you from zero to hero.
You know Akka and the actor model - one of the most powerful abstractions of concurrent programming we’ve had, even though it’s not new. Use actors instead of threads and locks, go immortal with event sourcing, reactive with streams, distribute everything with remoting and clustering, build large scale distributed systems like they did all over the place.
This series is for the Scala programmer who needs to work with Akka and needs a clear path to mastering it. Rock the JVM has - to my knowledge, and I’ve searched way past the second page on Google - the only such path in existence.
This bundle contains
If you came here thinking, “I want to learn Akka, just show me a step-by-step way to do it, and I’ll follow”, this is it. There’s little else for me to say. More than 4000 people have taken this journey and they speak:
I’ve heard guys working years with scala saying that the Akka Streams library is so complex that only the lightbend folks that write it can use it. I’ve given it a try in the past, but after going beyond basic sources, sinks and flow i was like WTF!!. Daniel once again nails it, explains so nicely every single details, and spreads some light into such a hard topic. This course is so advanced that you will probably have to go through it 2 or more times, but after you do, daniel presents everything so nicely that you will definitely be a master of Akka Streams. Honestly Daniel is like my Scala Guru. (Giannis P. on Akka Streams, Feb. 2019)
The course is awesome!! As expected of course from Daniel, a great teacher going in depth for all concepts and explaining the WHYs and not just the HOWs. Currently on my journey to become a true master of the Akka world, can’t wait to continue with the rest of the series. Thanks for helping us rock Daniel!! (Kyriakos T. on the Akka series, Jan. 2020)
There are >1000 reviews like that, and that’s on Udemy. The version you’re looking at is even better and with exclusive new material.
This path is literally what you need to follow to be good at Akka, and it’s the only series on the web of this scale and complexity.
With the Akka (or Pekko) toolkit, you will be able to write backends of any complexity, for any company, distributed or local.
In short, everything you need to write backends of any complexity with Akka (or Pekko, its open-source sibling).

I'm a software engineer and the founder of Rock the JVM. I started the Rock the JVM project out of love for Scala and the technologies it powers - they are all amazing tools and I want to share as much of my experience with them as I can.
As of February 2024, I've taught Java, Scala, Kotlin and related tech (e.g. Cats, ZIO, Spark) to 100000+ students at various levels and I've held live training sessions for some of the best companies in the industry, including Adobe and Apple. I've also taught university students who now work at Google and Facebook (among others), I've held Hour of Code for 7-year-olds and I've taught more than 35000 kids to code.
I have a Master's Degree in Computer Science and I wrote my Bachelor and Master thesis on Quantum Computation. Before starting to learn programming, I won medals at international Physics competitions.
