Real-world scaling with Scala & Akka
summary
Zeebox scales by real choices not platitudes: it absorbs thousands of concurrent sign-ins using an Akka cluster fronting REST JSON, persists user state in Cassandra, and runs JVM profiling and load‑testing to tune hotspots. Hundreds of EC2 nodes exchange JSON across hundreds of EC2 nodes and autoscale; Scala DSLs produce immutable Google Analytics query specs so pipelines avoid boilerplate. Result: rapid feature iteration, on‑the‑ground resiliency, and a codebase that supports ~50 developers working productively.
