Coupling Akka Platform with Red Hat OpenShift, organizations can build and deploy smart applications and infrastructure to deliver efficient cloud native applications on any cloud or multiple clouds—all at reduced cost.

In this highly-visual presentation by Hugh McKee, Developer Advocate at Lightbend, to learn more about the ramifications and opportunities along the evolution from monolithic systems, to microservices architectures, to serverless (FaaS).

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

In Part 1 of our series on Design Techniques For Building Stateful, Cloud-Native Applications, we looked at the topics of Resiliency, Recoverability, and Scalability for cloud-native applications like Reactive Microservices and real-time streaming systems. In this part, we take a look at application state, and why we should distribute it. Let’s start with defining the word state.

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 "Tales From The Road" story by Michael Read, Senior Consultant at Lightbend, we take a look at achieving operational visibility into the difficult-to-monitor area of asynchronous microservices communication.

In a recent survey, 75% of over 2400 developers revealed that they are already using (or planning to use) microservices to enable real-time streaming use cases, showing that a key characteristic of Fast Data architectures is the use of microservices for streaming functionality...

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.

Two technologies–Akka Streams and Kafka Streams–have emerged as popular tools to use with Apache Kafka for addressing the shared requirements of availability, scalability, and resilience for both streaming microservices and Fast Data. So which one should you use for specific use cases?

It's this time of the year again. Top microservices and fast data experts in the world are getting together for a unique learning experience. We handpicked some sessions and workshops for you that we think are particularly interesting if you want to learn more about Microservices and Reactive.

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.

Lightbend and IBM Cognitive Class introduce six free online courses on Reactive Architecture.

Introducing Lightbend Reactive Architecture - Professional, a crash course in thinking differently, guided by experienced Lightbend expert who provides codified lessons learned, best practices, reference architectures, design patterns and analysis techniques when working with Reactive architectures.

In this fireside chat style presentation, Dean Wampler of Lightbend and Matt Aslett of 451 Research will discuss the business justification for transitioning from batch-oriented big data to stream-oriented fast data, and how some of these requirements can be met by leveraging what organizations already know about microservice architectures.

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.

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.

We are happy to announce the availability of Reactive Microsystems, a new O'Reilly report authored by Jonas Bonér, co-founder of Lightbend and creator of the Akka message-driven middleware project.

We are happy to announce the availability of Deploying Reactive Microservices, a new O'Reilly report authored by Edward Callahan, Senior Engineer at Lightbend. In this O’Reilly report, author Edward Callahan demonstrates how you can enable teams to deliver software with precision and confidence.

By now you have likely heard the news that IBM has made a strategic investment in Lightbend to bring Reactive solutions to IBM Platforms. IBM and Lightbend have a history of collaboration, but this strategic investment and relationship will allow enterprise developers to reap the benefits of both Lightbend’s expertise in Reactive microservices and IBM’s expertise in AI and Machine Learning.
