Why Akka
Unresponsive is unacceptable
why are apps still experiencing responsiveness issues? Why are apps still suffering from these and other symptoms of non-responsiveness?
Long RTO
lorem ipsum about DR/HA and end user expectations that any RTO other than zero is unwanted and unnecessary
Latency variances
lorem ipsum about users in different locations experiencing different latency
Upgrade downtime
lorem ipsum about blocking upgrades, the headache they cause for Ops and end users
Slow release velocity
Responsive
by Design
Elastic. Agile. Resilient.
Responsive apps react to inevitable and unexpected changes. Create certainty with apps that adapt to varying demand, changing requirements, and unpredictable events.
Akka apps implement the Reactive Principles – industry-accepted design guidelines for guaranteeing responsiveness.
EXTERNAL EVENTS
Workloads
- Spikes
- Idleness
- User Location
Elasticity
Akka apps auto-scale to varying workloads while placing active-active replicas near users.
DevOps
- New Versions
- Schema Changes
- Maintenance
Agility
Akka updates, rebalances and repartitions workloads to enable no-downtime maintenance events.
Failures
- Hardware
- Network
- Synchronization
Resilience
Akka recovers, migrates and replicates workloads with 0/0 RTO/RPO to handle potential failures.
REACTIVE INSIDE
Distribute data, not the DB
Responsive by design, Akka apps act as their own in-memory, durable databases that can change locations and recover from failures. They distribute logic and data together, to free the app from the limits of their infrastructure.
Top to bottom
Responsiveness for the Stack
Akka provides value for the entire app stack — delivering unmatched, benchmarked performance to scale your app from 0 to infinity, and back.
Network
6ms: p99 read latency
App
Data
8ms: p99 write latency
CPU
250M actors/GB heap
Lower Costs
Responsive apps cost less to operate. Scale infinitely and lower latency while eliminating infrastructure, ops and dev inefficiencies. The CFO may not understand Akka, but they will love it.
