Lightbend, the company behind Akka, announced Akka 3 – a platform to build and run apps that are elastic, agile, and resilient. Akka is known as a set of libraries that have been downloaded 1 billion times and is already the standard for building resilient and elastic distributed systems.
Now, Akka introduces a simple SDK for development, and Serverless and Bring-Your-Own-Cloud (BYOC) environments that automate Day 2 operations. Akka has multiple industry-firsts: the first to migrate apps across hyperscalers, the first runtime with multi-master replication, and the first vendor to indemnify an app’s resilience.
To better reflect who they are as a company, Lightbend has changed its name to Akka.
