9. Akka-Persistence!
   •  Based on “Event-Sourcing”: Command, Events!
   •  Pluggable journal and snapshot storage (LevelDB, Cassandra, MongoDB,
   others)!
   •  Can recover starting from giving sequence_id!
   •  Guarantee: no new command processed between “persist” and call of
   “handler”!
   "com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-persistence" % "2.4.4"!
   "org.iq80.leveldb" % "leveldb" % “0.7"!
   "org.fusesource.leveldbjni" % "leveldbjni-all" % "1.8"!
