Apache Spark is a data analysis and aggregation tool built atop Scala. It is also a distributed calculation tool across multiple worker machines in a cluster. What makes the relationship of Spark and Scala so special is the ability to perform data analysis with functional programming or SQL.
This course is tailored for data analysts and engineers looking to harness their data workloads and develop solutions.
Akka is a free and open-source toolkit and runtime simplifying the construction of concurrent and distributed applications on the JVM. Akka supports multiple programming models for concurrency, but it emphasizes actor-based concurrency, with inspiration drawn from Erlang.
