In my previous blog, I discussed about the basics of akka-stream. Basically, it was an introduction to akka-stream to get you started. There I mentioned about materialization which is a really important concept in Akka-Streams. And in this blog I’m going to discuss about it and some related topics in detail. So, let’s begin
Akka-Streams Basics
Let’s revisit the basics first. So, the data processing in akka-streams is done as data flow from different stages of a graph. These stages have either one or more inputs and outputs.The basic building blocks are Sources (one output), Sinks (one input) and Flows (one input and one output). Using them, we can build linear pipelines/graphs.
