Akka–the asynchronous, actor-based toolkit for the JVM–is a popular and mature choice for building scalable and resilient Reactive systems in Java or Scala. Kubernetes has rapidly emerged as the de facto standard in the world of container orchestration, with all major cloud providers offering a managed Kubernetes platform. Best of all, it also promises transparent scalability and resilience.
So how do these two technologies compare from a Reactive standpoint? Does one supersede the other? In fact, their powers can be combined to design distributed systems all the way from application code to cloud instance.
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. Specifically, we go over:
