Axxes.AkkaDotNet.SensorData

Welcome to the code samples repository for my 'Drinking a river of IoT data with Akka.NET' talk.

Slides

You can find all slides for my talk in the slides folder.

What to expect

The sources in this repository holds 2 command line applications:

• AkkaDotNet.SensorData.ActorSystemHost: An application with a sample ActorSystem that processes Meter readings and generates alerts when certain thresholds are exceeded.
• AkkaDotNet.SensorData.MessageGenerator: An application that generates fake data, as if it came from real life sensors, and sends it to the 'ActorSystemHost' via Akka.Remote.

How to get started

1. Clone this repo
2. Create 2 SQL databases. I used 'AkkaPersistence' and 'SensorData' on the localDB instance
3. Run the SQL script found in scripts/CreateSensorDataDB.sql on the DB you plan to use for sensor data and alert configurations.
4. Adjust Connectionstrings in:
   • src/AkkaDotNet.SensorData.ActorSystemHost/appsettings.json (SensorData)
   • src/AkkaDotNet.SensorData.ActorSystemHost/akka.conf (AkkaPersistence, 2x)
5. Set both Console applications as Startup projects
6. Run the code
7. Type 'start' in the message generator
8. Place some breakpoints, see what happens.

Known issues

Since the message generator starts from a random number, you will need to clear both database if you restart it, or you will end up with bogus data.
