The best is yet to come - State of Akka in 2017

on YouTube ↗52m

" summary

Overview of Akka 2.5 and near-future work with concrete outcomes and tools rather than promises: Akka already ships Akka Streams and Akka HTTP with HTTP/2 support, the Play backend migration to the typed HTTP model, Alpakka connectors, stable Persistence Query and Distributed Data CRDTs with delta gossip, and a new remoting codenamed Artery that moves to UDP with lane-based big message handling and claims ~10x throughput improvements; Akka Typed appears as the planned API direction with Java DSL and migration paths.
