In this talk by David Ogren, Principal Enterprise Architect at Lightbend, we draw from experiences helping our clients successfully create, migrate to, and manage cloud-native system architectures.

Lightbend is providing free online access to Lightbend Academy for any technologist looking to learn Reactive Architecture or sharpen their Scala skills—all from the comfort of home.

We are pleased to announce a new release of Lightbend Telemetry, a suite of observability tooling for Lightbend Platform. This release includes new instrumentation providing key visibility into Akka’s Persistent Actors and Lagom’s Persistent Entities.

In this guest webinar by Kevin Webber, we cover the entire architecture of a Reactive system, from a responsive UI implemented with Vue.js, to a fully event sourced collection of microservices implemented with Java, Lagom, Cassandra, and Kafka.

Lightbend, EPFL, and the Scala Center recently released Scala 2.13. As this release paves the way for Scala 3 later in 2020, the Scala team at Lightbend took the opportunity to answer a few questions...

The Play Team is proud to share our roadmap to the next version of Play and Lagom. As we did with the previous roadmap, we want to give you the power to improve it, add items you are interested in working on and help us to improve it with your ideas.

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...

The Lagom team and contributors are proud to announce the release of Lagom 1.5.0!

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.

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 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?

As our relationship with IBM continues to produce fantastic tools for the Java and Scala developer community, we're happy to share our latest offering: IBM’s Reactive Platform Development Accelerator.

Lightbend is excited to release the latest version of Enterprise Suite’s telemetry module, Cinnamon, which includes support for Lagom 1.4+ metrics and tracing, Akka Persistence metrics and events, support for OpenTracing 0.31.0, better support for structured data in SLF4J event logging, and new Grafana dashboards.

In this Lightbend podcast, we sit down with Renato Cavalcanti (@renatocaval), Senior Engineer on the Lagom team and founder of the Belgium Scala User Group, who tells us about the latest release of Lagom 1.4, some history of Lagom since the 1.0 launch, as well as some ideas the team is working on for future releases.

We blew through September, which is a month where even the most southern parts of Germany (where I'm from) send all their boys and girls back to school. This monthly Tech Digest brings you the latest news around Scala, Akka, Lagom and Play. A big thank you to this awesome community for all your contributions!

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." That is how Albert Camus put it. We made it back from summer vacation and it is time to gear back up into work mode. Here's a good opportunity to start over is to check in with what you might have missed last month. A big thank you to this awesome community for all your contributions!

"One benefit of Summer was that each day we had more light to read by." The wonderful quote by American author, Jeannette Walls beautifully expresses what summertime was all about for me when I was in school. Summer break was finally there and there's nothing to worry about for a couple of weeks before we had to start over again. Growing older with less vacations than my daughters have today, I still enjoy this time of the year to catch up on reading. And there's a lot to learn because of our awesome community which never stops contributing.

I am Summer, come to lure you away from your computer ... and we all deserve the upcoming break. But this doesn't stop us or our community to create amazing new content and give you some summer time reading. A big thank you to our community for creating so much amazing content sharing the knowledge on how to use Reactive technologies in the right ways.

With Scala Days just behind us and summer holidays ahead of us, we're gearing up for hot weather with plenty of new releases, events, and community driven articles...

With April swooshing by, we're a step closer to the warmer months again. Time to check how the communities have been working on Akka, Lagom, Play and Scala and which surprises you may have missed in April.
