Akka

💥 Everyone who is aware of our - Scalac's - partnership with Akka already knows that we are absolutely thrilled about it. Here's a bit more light on WHY exactly we're so excited (very cool numbers incoming, buckle up!): When it comes to building responsive, resilient applications that WORK under extreme conditions, Akka stands in a class of its own 💪🏻 What makes it unique? Akka guarantees application responsiveness by design, distributing logic and data in apps that act as their own in-memory, durable database. Tom, you may ask, "That's cool, but what exactly do you mean by that?" I'm glad you asked. The results of implementing Akka speak for themselves: ➡️ CERN uses Akka to power their NXCALS system for groundbreaking physics research ➡️ Dream11 cut cloud costs by 30% ➡️ Verizon drove 235% sales growth while cutting hardware by HALF. Now, I'll be traveling to the US next week to - among other things - meet with the Akka team (excited to catch up with you guys). I would love to chat about how #Akka could transform your systems, too. Drop me a message if you're curious, and keep an eye out for updates as I bounce around the East Coast next week!

As many of you know, I built an #AI application over the past year, which was a huge learning experience. Earlier this year, I reached out to Tyler Jewell because I thought that the Akka platform had the core capabilities that would make building an agentic AI system much easier (had I realized that I needed them in the first place!). I'll be sharing some of my lessons learned in building an agentic AI system in a webinar with Tyler and the Akka team next week.

Agentic AI means #streaming AI. How do you build continuous agents that can handle real-time video, sensor metrics and human input when your LLMs are slow and unreliable? Join me & Richard Li on Thursday, March 6, at 10 AM ET as we present: ✓ A blueprint for Agentic AI ✓ Making agentic services fail-proof ✓ Managing a two-order-of-magnitude increase in TPS ✓ Navigating cost vs. quality tradeoffs ✓ Continuously redeploying agents We'll discuss how agentic platforms transform LLMs into event-driven, streaming systems in order to provide real-time augmentation of billions of prompts. 📅 Save your spot now → https://bit.ly/4idiGb1 #Akka #streaming #cloudcomputing #LLMs #agenticAI #agents #semanticsearch #AI

The Agentic Akka Webinar is next week! Join me & Richard Li on Thursday, March 6, at 10 AM ET as we dive into: ✓ Making agentic services fail-proof ✓ Managing a two-order-of-magnitude increase in TPS ✓ Navigating cost vs. quality tradeoffs ✓ Continuously redeploying agents We'll discuss the agentic cost vs. scale conundrum that every agentic system will face as we walk through a blueprint for designing and delivering agentic systems. 📅 Save your spot now → https://bit.ly/4idiGb1 #Akka #AppDevelopment #CloudComputing #CloudNative #DevOps #DistributedSystems #SoftwareDevelopment #AgenticAI #LLMs #LLM #AIAgent #AI

Agentic AI services promise game-changing potential… But, their scale changes everything. If we have billions of mobile users, we're going to have TRILLIONS of agentic users. TPS could go up 100x. LLMs struggle with latency and availability. Agents will require frequent updates. And the costs...well, they escalate VERY quickly. So, how do you build and operate services at agentic scale? Join Tyler Jewell & Richard Li on Thursday, March 6, at 10 AM ET as they dive into: ✓ Making agentic services fail-proof ✓ Managing a two-order-of-magnitude increase in TPS ✓ Navigating cost vs. quality tradeoffs ✓ Continuously redeploying agents 📅 Save your spot now → https://bit.ly/4idiGb1 #Akka #AppDevelopment #CloudComputing #CloudNative #DevOps #DistributedSystems #SoftwareDevelopment #AgenticAI #LLMs #LLM #AIAgent #AI

Time to buckle up. Akka has (paying) AI customers with millions of TPS. The next wave is agentic compute. Agentic architecture will completely upend systems design. Day 2 operations will never be the same. Agentic Akka will answer the call.

Event sourcing is transforming how we design, build, and maintain modern applications. In this webinar, Kevin ☁️ Hoffman—author of Real-World Event Sourcing—shares key insights from his book, breaks down the rules of mastering event sourcing, and showcases a live demo with examples in Akka. 📽️ Watch the webinar + get slides & resources: https://lnkd.in/gmehfc4G #Akka #AppDevelopment #CloudComputing #CloudNative #DevOps #DistributedSystems #ServerlessComputing #SoftwareDevelopment #EventSourcing

When Icon and Akka recently showcased how we work together, one thing our CTO Donal Fleming highlighted was that #IPF and Akka are a good fit because of Akka's reliability and stability: 'It just works.'
