In this demo and sample project, we look at the dynamics behind failure and recovery with Akka Cluster, especially looking at the difference between DIY recovery and automated recovery with Split Brain Resolver.

In this hands-on session with Hugh McKee, you’ll get to see first hand the dynamics behind failure and recovery with Akka Cluster, especially looking at the difference between DIY recovery and automated recovery with Split Brain Resolver.

In this webinar by Nolan Grace, Senior Solution Architect at Lightbend, we look at these two Akka modules and discuss the features that will push your application architecture to the next tier of performance.

In this self-paced, virtual course from Lightbend Academy, you’ll learn about Akka Cluster Sharding and its various features as you convert a stateless microservice into a stateful one.

In this post, we’ll uncover four unique technical benefits of building distributed stateful applications with Akka, a popular open-source runtime used by Global 5,000 companies like Starbucks, HPE, PayPal and more to handle their mission-critical systems.

In this hands-on session with Hugh McKee, O’Reilly author and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, you’ll be able to install a very simple dashboard to visualize, deploy, and interact with Akka Cluster nodes and their lifecycles.

Akka expert Manuel Bernhardt describes a 3-month long experiment to get Akka Cluster to scale out to 10,000 nodes, breaking the previous limit of 2400 nodes running on Google Compute Engine.

This is Part 2, Project 1 of “How Akka Cluster Works”, a multi-project video series that introduces developers and architects working with Java (and Scala) to the inner workings of Akka Cluster. In Part 2: Cluster Node Lifecycles, we dive into interacting with nodes in the cluster in real-time.

This is Part 1, Project 1 of “How Akka Cluster Works”, a multi-project video series that introduces developers and architects working with Java (and Scala) to the inner workings of Akka Cluster. In Part 1: Getting Started, we introduce Akka Cluster using a sample Akka Java project that includes a web dashboard.

In this series of blog posts, we introduce a proof of concept that implements a highly consistent, and performant distributed cache with a persistence backing using Akka, Cassandra, and Scala.

The Lightbend engineering teams have released Lightbend Orchestration 1.7.1., Lagom 1.4.11, and sbt 1.3.18 for your immediate use. Enjoy!

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.

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.

This technical white paper by Hugh McKee (@mckeeh3) and Oliver White (@theotown) of Lightbend will take you on an illustrated journey that goes deep into how Akka works

From all of us at Lightbend, we're happy to introduce new functionality that lets you bring your Akka applications into a truly global environment. Meet two new Akka modules: Akka Multi-DC Clustering (open source) and Akka Multi-DC Persistence (part of our commercial Enterprise Suite).

In this technical webinar, O’Reilly author and Lightbend Developer Advocate, Hugh McKee, takes you on a deep dive into advanced Akka features for enhanced application resilience, elasticity, and responsiveness.
