Akka Present and Future
summary
Builds and API work target immediate adoption: Akka Typed becomes production-ready as a thin wrapper on the existing actor system with typed behaviors, a receptionist for discovery, an ask helper, and explicit persistent behaviors (commands → events → state) that enable snapshotting and tagging. Cluster runs multi‑DC by default with one singleton per DC and local membership decisions. Networking adds Artery TCP with TLS and separated streams. Cross‑node streaming is solved by StreamRefs. A preview Akka gRPC (sbt codegen, HTTP/2 via Akka HTTP, Netty client) is available but not yet for production.
