Who is ever going to use Akka after the "3 years"? It says a lot about the company. An despite the fact I love the technology and its community, I wouldn't recommend it anymore, at all. The pricing is simply not right.
I mean, it came so suddenly that you literally have no choice than to pay for at least 1 year, before you port your services to something else (if you can, at all), unless you want CVEs going wild in your production systems.
I wonder what's their long-term vision? Getting rid of Akka as the main business model (subscriptions / support) and focus on something that is maybe based on Akka (I guess Kalix and similar cloud-only services)?
Well, if that's the case, it's a brilliant idea: squeeze as much money now as you can, pivot your company to something different. (SAAS, yay, another one)
Unethical? Maybe yes, a tiny bit.
