Introducing Akka.Hosting - HOCONless Akka.NET Configuration and Runtime
Best Practices and Patterns for Asynchronous Programming with Akka.NET Actors
In our Akka.NET Community Standup on March 9th, 2022 we presented for the very first time Akka.Hosting - a new approach to configuring Akka.NET and managing ActorSystem
s that requires zero HOCON, automatically enforces Akka.NET best practices, is type-checked, and makes it easy to pass IActorRef
s via Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
using the brand new ActorRegistry
construct. Although Akka.Hosting is part of the current Akka.NET v1.5 development effort underway, it is already available for use with Akka.NET v1.4 and is ready for production use.
In this post and accompanying video we demonstrate how to use Akka.Hosting to streamline Akka.NET configuration, ActorSystem
life-cycle management, actor instantiation, dependency injection, and more.
