This post discusses stateful processing considerations when deciding whether your use case should be stateless or stateful when implementing stream processing.

This is the second of six posts in our cloud-native series that focuses on streaming data applications, exploring an alternative class of compute tools–libraries that provide streaming semantics–but which you embed in your microservices.

In this Lightbend Podcast, I sit down with Dean Wampler, VP of Fast Data Engineering, and Craig Blitz, Senior Product Director, of Lightbend. The topic: Lightbend Pipelines, our newest module to become part of Lightbend Platform.

In this webinar with Lightbend's Craig Blitz, Product Director, and Kiki Carter, Principal Enterprise Architect, we review how Lightbend’s Pipelines module enables you to develop components ("streamlets") using the appropriate technology, wire them together as pipelines, and deploy them with Kubernetes without all the manual, time-consuming labor.

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 intermediate level presentation for Architects, Data Scientists, Developers with O’Reilly author and Lightbend Principal Architect, Boris Lublinsky, we will define an alternative approach to model serving, based on treating the model itself as data.

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.

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.

In this webinar with Enno Runne, Tech Lead for Alpakka at Lightbend, Inc., we’ll look at why integrations should be viewed as streams of data, and how Alpakka—a Reactive Enterprise Integration library for Java and Scala based on Reactive Streams and Akka—fits perfectly for today’s demands on system integrations.

Join Hugh McKee, Akka expert and Developer Advocate at Lightbend, on an illustrated journey that goes deep into how Akka works–from individual Akka actors to fully distributed clusters across multiple datacenters.

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

In this talk by Dean Wampler, PhD., VP of Fast Data Engineering at Lightbend, we’ll look at the criteria you need to consider when selecting technologies, plus the context and background to make good decisions when it comes to adopting streaming frameworks.

Reactive Streams expert and Lightbend Deputy CTO, Viktor Klang, provides a Reactive take on integration, where streaming is a first-class concept and Resilience and Responsiveness is achieved through flow control, back pressure, and feedback control.

This blog post brings together several resources into “get started kit” to learn what’s going on with streaming technologies like Akka Streams, Akka HTTP and Alpakka (all based on the Reactive Streams initiative) and connecting with your legacy integration points as a starting point.

In this webinar, Dr. Dean Wampler, VP of Fast Data Engineering at Lightbend, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Kafka Streams and Akka Streams for particular design needs in data-centric microservices.

In this webinar, we are joined by O’Reilly author and Lightbend Principal Architect, Boris Lublinsky, as he discusses one of the hottest topics in software engineering today: serving machine learning models.

In this session by Konrad Malawski, author, speaker and Senior Akka Engineer at Lightbend, you will learn how to build these streaming ETL pipelines with Akka Streams, Alpakka and Apache Kafka, and why they matter to enterprises that are increasingly turning to streaming Fast Data applications.

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.

With Akka Streams providing the "glue" between both microservices and the real-time analysis performed in the Fast Data space, we wanted to shine the spotlight on three industry leaders in their respective markets–PayPal, Credit Karma, and Flipkart–collectively worth well over $50 billion in market capitalization...

Today's Lightbend Podcast is with special guest Colin Breck, a longtime Akka user that has been creating some excellent technical content on his personal blog lately. Today we're here to talk about Akka Streams and Akka Actors, two very important modules for building resilient streaming, distributed systems with the overall Akka toolkit.
