In our latest survey, Need For Speed: Fast Data Development Trends, over 2400 developers share their use of batch or streaming for data processing workloads...

Scala Days Europe and North America are over. After many weeks of raising excitement and anticipation, we can finally look back on two successful events in both Berlin and New York.

Lightbend is excited to release the latest version of the commercial Telemetry Module, Cinnamon, which adds support for direct reporting to New Relic, Akka Cluster Sharding metrics, updated Akka Cluster metrics and events, enhanced Play and Lagom configuration, Elasticsearch 6.x support, upgraded developer sandboxes and dashboards for Grafana 5.x, a developer API for custom events, and the ability to disable or rate limit events.

In The Need For Speed survey, we asked over 2400 developers what’s hard about Fast Data through the lens of the complete project lifecycle: Design, Build, and Run.

In this webinar by Sean Glover (@seg1o), Lightbend Senior Engineer for Fast Data Platform, we go through some best practices that we've learned working with Kafka, DC/OS, and Kubernetes with Lightbend clients.

As the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is effective from May 2018, many considerations regarding data obtaining, storage, and most notably allowing for data to be deleted at the request of users are introduced into systems we build.

Scala Center and Zalando hosted a Berlin Scala Spree on May 15th, 2018. The Lightbend Tooling Team attended it representing sbt and had a great time.

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.

How to create an Akka based implementation of a model as data by incorporating speculative model serving with an Akka-based implementation

Hi everyone. sbt 1.1.5 patch release is released!

In this Lightbend Podcast, we sit down with our CEO, Mark Brewer, to discuss what joining the Eclipse Foundation as a founding member of the Jakarta EE Working Group means for bringing Reactive closer to the traditional Java enterprise landscape.

James Roper, a member of Lightbend's Office of the CTO, shares his thoughts on becoming a committer to Eclipse MicroProfile, and why his experience is a good sign for Jakarta EE.

Every 10 years or so, the tech industry starts revving its engine for the “next big thing.” There’s the initial debate on technical definitions, a volatile period where first movers define best practices, and then a lot of noise from the vendors trying to sell shovels to the gold rush—and then eventually the dust settles and the new form factor becomes reality.

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.

Hi everyone. sbt 1.1.4 hotfix is released!

Combining the performance and contribution process of sbt, we've looked into how to profile JVM applications

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.

Hi everyone. It’s been a while since the last 1.1.x hotfix, so here’s 1.1.2.

In this webinar by Emre Velipasaoglu, Principal Data Scientist at Lightbend, we review why machine learned models built on data observed within a fixed time period usually suffer loss of prediction quality due to what is known as "concept drift".
