In this talk by Jonas Bonér, Lightbend CTO/Co-Founder and creator of Akka, we will explore the nature of events, what it means to be event-driven, and how we can unleash the power of events and commands by applying an events first, domain-driven design to microservices-based architectures.

In our continuing series on Design Techniques For Building Stateful Cloud-Native Applications (see Part 1, Part 2. and Part 3), we now take a look at message delivery, including some basic review of RPC, REST, Actors and more...

Jonas Bonér, creator of Akka and CTO/Co-Founder of Lightbend, reflects on 10 years of Akka bringing successful applications to the cloud for many of the worlds most admired brands. 

Akka 2.5.0 was released 2 years ago, and since then we have released 22 patch releases. This means that it's high time for a new minor release...

After much testing and intense development of a few important features, we are confident that Akka Typed has the quality and performance to be used in production.

We’re pleased to announce a new release of Lightbend Telemetry, part of Lightbend Platform.

In this Ask Lightbend Anything blog series, my colleague Alexander Golubyev, Senior Consultant at Lightbend, compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions from our conversations with hundreds of enterprises.

In this webinar with special guest Fabio Tiriticco, we will explore how Akka is the perfect companion to Kubernetes, providing the application level requirements needed to successfully deploy and manage your cloud-native services with technologies built specifically for cloud-native applications, like Kubernetes.

In this talk by Gerard Maas, O’Reilly author and Senior Software Engineer at Lightbend, we focus on choosing the right Fast Data stream processing features of Apache Spark, taking a practical, code-driven look at the two APIs available for this: the mature Spark Streaming and its younger sibling, Structured Streaming.

Lightbend CTO and Co-Founder, Jonas Bonér, releases a new white paper describing how to use Akka and Kubernetes for cloud-native applications.

In this webinar by Lightbend’s Eric Loots, Scala & Tooling Practice Lead, and Kikia Carter, Principal Enterprise Architect, we use a simple yet powerful visualization of a 5-node, Raspberry Pi-based cluster to reveal the inner workings of Akka Cluster.

In this Lightbend podcast, we sit down with Wade Waldron, Microservices Practice Lead at Lightbend, to discuss a question that we hear frequently from Lightbend customers and the OSS community: should we use Play Framework, Lagom Framework, or Akka HTTP for our next application?

In this "Tales From The Road" story by Michael Read, Senior Consultant at Lightbend, we take a look at achieving operational visibility into the difficult-to-monitor area of asynchronous microservices communication.

From real-time data streaming expert and VP of Fast Data Engineering at Lightbend, Dean Wampler, Ph.D., comes the 2nd Edition of his popular O'Reilly eBook Fast Data Architectures for Streaming Applications.

Two technologies–Akka Streams and Kafka Streams–have emerged as popular tools to use with Apache Kafka for addressing the shared requirements of availability, scalability, and resilience for both streaming microservices and Fast Data. So which one should you use for specific use cases?

Lightbend CTO and co-founder Jonas Bonér joins the Programming Throwdown podcast to discuss the finer points of Akka, Actors, and Reactive.

You’re probably heard of the “SMACK Stack”, but you may not know that three Lightbend experts–Sean Glover, Stavros Kontopoulos, and Gerard Maas–that recently teamed up with O’Reilly Media on a free eBook about working with the SMACK stack for Fast Data applications (available in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI formats–or all 3 in a .zip folder)!

In this webinar by Dr. Dean Wampler, VP of Fast Data Architecture at Lightbend, Inc., we cut through the buzz around Fast Data and explore how to successfully exploit this new opportunity for innovation in how your organization leverages data.

Lightbend is pleased to announce a new release of the commercial Telemetry module, Cinnamon. The Cinnamon 2.10 release includes Akka Stream telemetry, Scala Future metrics, and improvements to the OpenTracing integration. Cinnamon no longer supports Akka 2.3.

Lightbend and IBM Cognitive Class introduce six free online courses on Reactive Architecture.
