Welcome to the start of my 'Drinking a river of IoT data with Akka.NET' workshop. This repository holds the starting point for the workshop. The rest of the application will be completed during the workshop.

You can find the slides for the workshop in the slides folder.

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. This module will be completed during the workshop!
• 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.

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.

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