This was a sample test to demonstrate that 190,000 req/s of load with 0% reads and 100% writes was possible on GCP with Akka whose events are persisted to a Postgres database. This application simulates a digital twin solution, where a single Akka actor represented an IOT device that had to persist 500 bytes of information on each update.
