Distributed systems architecture, Akka.NET patterns, .NET + AI development, and performance — from the framework’s creators.
Subscribe to get new posts →One of the absolute coolest things you can do in Akka.NET is remotely deploy actors over the internet to other machines. You can literally deploy code somewhere other than the immediate, local process making the call. Note: The code samples...
I have to level with you. Dealing with network programming in my applications has always freaked me out a little bit. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? Let’s be real about it: low-level network programming is some scary...
My favorite part about teaching Akka.NET to people is the questions I get. I never have any clue what someone is going to ask me, and that’s kind of exciting. Last Thursday, we had an awesome group of developers participate...
The release of Akka.NET 1.0 marked the delivery of the project’s first major milestone and enabled us to commit to preserving long-term APIs for the foreseeable future. The core Akka.NET team and I have put together a rough roadmap that...
Today, we’re going to begin introducing the world to the internals of Akka.NET. These are the advanced technical topics and explain what is actually going on “under the hood” to make the magic happen. We begin our exploration with Akka.Remote....
The Petabridge team (all two of us) just wrapped up a big two weeks. We launched Akka.NET V1.0 and then traveled to Portland to talk about .NET open source software at .NET Fringe. One of central themes of .NET Fringe...
Open-source frameworks these days, they just grow up so darn fast… Today marks a major milestone on a long road—466 days since the first commit, to be exact—in bringing the Reactive Model to the CLR. Akka.NET has officially left -beta...
Last week, Wired ran an article called “What Happens When Apple Buys a Company You Depend On?,” which tells the story of how FoundationDB was acquired by Apple and subsequently threw their customers under the bus. This is a developer’s...
Today the Akka.NET project hit a massive milestone and became code complete for version 1.0. This puts us on track to hit the v1.0 public release within the timeframe that we (the core Akka.NET contributors) committed to back in February....
Today we’re going to learn about one of the really cool things actors can do: change their behavior at run-time! This capability allows you to do all sorts of cool stuff, like build Finite State Machines (FSM) or change how...
