Looks cool, but what's the distribution story? I'm not sure I understand the comparisons to Akka without one.

  We intend to provide distribution on top of Galaxy (http://puniverse.github.io/galaxy/ http://puniverse.github.io/galaxy/).

    Is Pulsar + Galaxy + Zookeeper + presumably some new code/project still simpler than Akka? It sounds kind of complicated.
    • pron 13y ago
      Galaxy doesn't require Zookeeper (it's an optional dependency). And Galaxy isn't there just to support Quasar/Pulsar. It's there to support a distributed, concurrent, consistent in-memory database. Actors are just part of the story. To simplify, Quasar/Pulsar + Galaxy is, in Erlang parlance, like Erlang + Mnesia or Erlang + Riak (only with a consistent database that assists in parallelization)

        Cool, thanks for clarifying pron. Looking forward to giving it a spin!

  There's lots of case studies on akka in production, and people using are generally happy but also honest about bottlenecks they hit (more than a few thousand messages in message box etc http://www.addthis.com/blog/2013/04/16/building-a-distributed-system-with-akka-remote-actors/ http://www.addthis.com/blog/2013/04/16/building-a-distribute... http://marakana.com/s/akka_hammer_scala_nails,1129/index.html http://marakana.com/s/akka_hammer_scala_nails,1129/index.htm... http://corp.klout.com/blog/2012/10/scaling-the-klout-api-with-scala-akka-and-play/ http://corp.klout.com/blog/2012/10/scaling-the-klout-api-wit... http://blog.kreuzverweis.com/uncategorized/moving-from-osgi-to-akka-and-why-we-knew-after-5-minutes-that-it-was-a-good-idea/ http://blog.kreuzverweis.com/uncategorized/moving-from-osgi-...
