Our fans

The self-healing capabilities of Akka are really impressive: during broader infrastructure maintenance, the cluster shuts itself down and then fully recreates itself when the network is restored, without loss of data.

Marcin Sobieszek
Senior Computing Engineer at CERN

Akka and reactive streams have enabled Tubi to provide customer experiences unlike any other in the video-on-demand space.

Marios Assistis
CTO at Tubi

The digital twins at Renault need to be available in any location and to be moveable from place to place. Akka gives us this capability, and makes it easy for us to push data to different platforms.

Jean-Philippe Le Roux
CEO at reflek.io

Esdiac’s strength and reliability as a communication platform is undeniably linked to the robust capabilities of Akka as a platform for scalable growth.

Bassirou Rabo
CTE at Esdiac

I have been working with Akka since 2014 and knew it could deliver on the elasticity and resilience we required.

Jeff Dutton
Data Platform Architect for HPE InfoSight

We found our move to Akka very natural. It has enabled us to focus on building our business logic rather than worrying about minutiae.
