A lot of ideas, best practices, and patterns for this book originated from our work in Emerging Technologies, which was spearheaded by Aravind Ajad Yarra. My special thanks goes to Shyam (coauthor), who is the most talented technical person I have come across. A big thanks to Munish for brainstorming the structure and content of the book. My thanks to Hari Burle, whose encouraging words and guidance helped me keep my focus on the book.

Munish Kumar Gupta is a lead system architect with Visa. Based in Bangalore, India, his day-to-day work involves solution architectures for applications with stringent non-functional requirements, application performance engineering, managing application infrastructure, and exploring the readiness of cutting-edge, open source technologies for enterprise adoption. He is the author of Akka Essentials. He is very passionate about software programming and craftsmanship. He blogs about technology trends, application performance engineering, and Akka.

I have to start by thanking my wife, Kompal. She urged me to keep writing, and here I am with my second book. Thanks to everyone on the Packt team who helped me so much. A special mention to Zeeyan, Nitin, and Romy.

Shyam Sundar is a senior architect with Wipro Technologies based in Bangalore. He is part of the Emerging Technologies Architecture group within Wipro. He is responsible for helping teams adopt new and emerging technologies in their projects. He focuses primarily on the client side and cloud technologies. He is a lifelong learner who cares deeply about software craftsmanship. He is constantly experimenting with new tools and technologies to improve the development experience.

I have to first thank my coauthors, Ajay and Munish, for taking me along on this incredible journey with them. For someone who is more used to expressing themselves with code rather than words, both Ajay and Munish gave a lot of thoughtful pointers on how to structure the content and simplify the concepts. I must also thank my boss, Aravind Ajad Yarra, for his continued support and encouragement.
