Build a shopping cart

New to Akka? Start here:

Use the Build your first agent guide to get a simple agentic service running locally and interact with it.

This guide introduces the basics of building a shopping cart service using Akka. In the first part, you will build and deploy a simple event-sourced service with an HTTP API. In the second part, you will extend the model, introduce views, and add user authentication.

  1. A simple shopping cart service — A simple HTTP-based shopping cart backed by an event-sourced entity.

  2. Authenticated user-specific lookup — Add a user-specific cart view, refactor the model, and secure the endpoint with JWT authentication.
