NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and fault tolerant event-driven applications on the JVM. It offers very lightweight event-driven processes with approximately 2.7 million actors per GB RAM and a 'let-it-crash'model of fault-tolerance designed to work in a distributed environment. Akka can be used as a library for web-apps or as a stand-alone kernel to drop an application into.
