Akka

Akka is a powerful platform that simplifies building and operating highly responsive, resilient, and scalable services.

The platform consists of

• the Akka SDK for straightforward, rapid development with AI assist and automatic clustering. Services built with the Akka SDK are automatically clustered and can be deployed on any infrastructure.
• and Akka Automated Operations, a managed solution that handles everything for Akka SDK services from auto-elasticity to multi-region high availability running safely within your VPC.

The Akka SDK and Akka Automated Operations are built upon the foundational Akka libraries, providing the building blocks for distributed systems.

Akka Projections

Akka Projections provides an abstraction for consuming a stream of Envelope (where Envelope contains a payload and a trackable offset). This streams can originate from persisted events, Kafka topics, or other Alpakka connectors.

Akka Projections also provides tools to track, restart and distribute these projections.

Reference Documentation

The reference documentation for all Akka libraries is available via doc.akka.io/libraries/, details for the Akka Projections libraries for Scala and Java.

The current versions of all Akka libraries are listed on the Akka Dependencies page. Releases of the Akka Projections libraries in this repository are listed on the GitHub releases page.
