Akka provides the building blocks that make it easy for businesses to build, deploy, and run large-scale applications that support digitally transformative initiatives.
Accelerate time-to-value and reduce infrastructure and cloud costs with reactive microservices that take full advantage of the distributed nature of the cloud and are resilient to failure, highly efficient, and operative at any scale.
Akka Distributed Cluster extends applications across multiple data centers while maintaining performance, consistency, and reliability—whether multi-region, multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, or on-premise.
Akka Distributed Cluster is comprised of:
Low-latency, high-performance Publish-Subscribe over gRPC, with guaranteed delivery, eliminating the need for message broker management. Ensures efficient operation in memory-constrained environments, from the central Cloud to the Far Edge.
Building on Brokerless Pub/Sub, allows dynamic event filters on the producer or consumer side to prevent sending and processing unnecessary data. Reduces network costs and hardware resources are freed up by only transferring the required data when needed. This feature is particularly crucial at the Edge.
Utilize distributed event journal replication—running on gRPC, leveraging CRDTs, and the new Brokerless Pub/Sub for ultra-efficient, low-latency replication. This guarantees eventual solid consistency of event-sourced actors/entities across different data centers or Point-of-Presences at the Far Edge.
Search for data on multiple fields without additional read models, reducing the cost and time spent storing and interacting with duplicate data.
Akka delivers advanced functionality and feature sets teams need for program success, such as:
Intelligent monitoring and observability
Multitude of deployment and monitoring options
Framework for quick construction, deployment and management of streaming data pipelines
Native support for encryption, data shredding, TLS enforcement, and continued compliance with GDPR
Direct interaction with Lightbend engineers and project committers
