Learning Akka (Video 9)

This video tutorial covers supervision and monitoring in Akka. It explains the parent-child relationship in supervision, detailing how a parent actor handles failures in its child actors through various strategies like resuming, restarting, stopping, or escalating failures. The video also contrasts supervision with monitoring, where an actor monitors another to react to its termination. Coding examples demonstrate these concepts, using actors Aphrodite, Hera, Aries, and Athena. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the section and a preview of upcoming topics, including router actors and stateful actors.
