Managing an Akka Cluster on Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Demonstrates running an Akka cluster on Kubernetes using Akka Management CoordinatedShutdown and the Akka Split Brain Resolver with concrete Kubernetes pod manifests, readiness checks, contact-point discovery, and configuration values (timeouts, commands). Shows rolling deployments that stop accepting new connections, wait for in‑flight requests and terminate shards in order, and reproduces a split‑brain scenario resolved automatically by the configured policy; includes whether the demo cluster recovered without data loss.
