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.

In this technical webinar by Hugh McKee, O’Reilly author and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, we introduce Akka from A to Z, starting with a tour from the humble actor and finishing all the way at the clustered systems level.

In this technical white paper, we review the tricky, unavoidable nature of network partitions, and describe what kind of strategies are needed resolve split brain scenarios intelligently, in just seconds.

In a recent conversation on the Akka User Google Group, we came across a very salient conversation in which we found some very straight answers to questions that architects ask themselves when deciding to adopt a tool or not. The answers below are from Justin du Coeur, the creator of Querki. Querki is still in beta, and represents is a new way of organizing your personal information powered by Scala, Akka, Play and Scala.js. As a one-man show, Justin wears many hats, which makes him an ideal candidate for cutting to the root of matter with these six questions for architects. You can read more about Justin and the Querki project on the project’s development blog and his personal blog, which blends conversations about software, science-fiction, SCA and gaming.
