Akka applications have fail over and disaster recovery built in

You can run Akka clusters across multiple regions where your state and memory will automatically be replicated (with optional filters) across those regions. This is valuable for data sovereignty, lower end user latencies, and disaster recovery. Your Akka applications have fail over and disaster recovery built in, as Akka's reliable replication engine will detect the error and automatically synchronize changes when a failed region comes back online. You can implement a variety of DR patters with Akka.  Another more serious scenario is a perpetually failed region where replication would take a long time for proper recovery. Akka Automated Operations has system-wide recovery mechanisms.

Enjoy this demo from Blake Dobay, one of Akka's SREs that overviews how this works.
