Offtopic, I've never heard of Akka, going to the page https://www.lightbend.com/akka/ https://www.lightbend.com/akka/ didn't help either.. > Akka provides the building blocks that make it easy for businesses to build, deploy, and run large-scale applications that support digitally transformative initiatives. Fucking hell, buzzwords galore. Scrolling down it didn't get better, it's all just marketing blah blah.

It’s a streaming (well, actor, but I see it most often used in the streaming context) framework that is pretty well known in the Scala world. It’s pretty robust, and like the comment says, it’s used as the underlying engine for a good amount of high performance Scala and Java frameworks. Play, which is the pretty much de facto Scala web framework, uses it pretty religiously.

On https://akka.io https://akka.io or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akka_(toolkit) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akka_(toolkit) you get a better idea of what Akka is.

I used Akka many (10?) years ago and back then the landing page and documentation was amazing. It was super clear what it did and why it's necessary. I really enjoyed using it. I'm sad to see such a good project being mismanaged so badly because someone needed to build a company around it.
