Do you spend more time worrying about race conditions and thread safety than you do building features? The applications we need to build today-real-time apps, high-traffic APIs, and services that simply \u003ci\u003ecan't\u003c\/i\u003e go down-are pushing traditional languages to their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book shows you a better way. It's a journey into a different way of thinking, rooted in the Actor Model and the powerful \"let it crash\" philosophy. Instead of defensively coding against every possible error, I'll show you how to build systems that are \u003ci\u003edesigned\u003c\/i\u003e for failure-systems that heal themselves, that manage state safely, and that scale with an elegance you've never experienced before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a hands-on workshop, not a dry manual.
