"AKKA overview"

3/5

What do you like best about Akka?

When we should choose between some technologies at first we are checking if it's open-source or not.

Even with non-top hardware, you can reach high performance. We have easily reached 10m messages and it's pretty cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Akka?

Integration is not easy. Need to check the whole documentation. we spent a lot of time integrating it into our backend.

Only two languages are supported. Even AKKA is open-source there's no much choice. Want to see AKKA implementations on .Net or Node js Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
