Uniform Model

Akka provides a uniform, simple DevEx and OpsEx to build apps once and then continuously adapt to change. Build, test and debug locally, and deploy multi-regionally without code rewrites. Versioning, rolling updates, schema migrations, and infrastructure upgrades can all be done without downtime.

No Rewrites. No Downtime.
