We are proud to announce the open beta of Akka Serverless. Akka Serverless is the first and only developer platform that combines the scalability and ease of use of current serverless models with the responsiveness of business-critical stateful applications into one managed, cloud-based environment.

In this Lightbend podcast with Kiki Carter, Lead Developer Experience Engineer, and Hugh McKee, Developer Advocate for Akka Platform, we take a look at work. Namely, how much time should software engineers give to working on something that we don’t like, aren’t especially good at, or would otherwise avoid in favor of other more interesting topics?
