Akka Typed: How the Pipe Pattern Saves Us from Anti-Patterns | Rock the JVM

This video is for people who are familiar with the Akka actor model and starting with Akka Typed. We demonstrate the use-case of an Akka actor interacting with an external service, which can break actor encapsulation. We then show how we can use the pipe pattern to forward the results of the async computation back to the actor as a message, and how (as an extra benefit) the pipe pattern allows us to make the actor stateless.
