Akka
====
*Akka is a powerful platform that simplifies building and operating highly responsive, resilient, and scalable services.*


The platform consists of
* the [**Akka SDK**](https://doc.akka.io/java/index.html) for straightforward, rapid development with AI assist and automatic clustering. Services built with the Akka SDK are automatically clustered and can be deployed on any infrastructure.
* and [**Akka Automated Operations**](https://doc.akka.io/operations/akka-platform.html), a managed solution that handles everything for Akka SDK services from auto-elasticity to multi-region high availability running safely within your VPC.

The **Akka SDK** and **Akka Automated Operations** are built upon the foundational [**Akka libraries**](https://doc.akka.io/libraries/akka-dependencies/current/), providing the building blocks for distributed systems.


Akka HTTP library
=================
The Akka HTTP modules implement a full server- and client-side HTTP stack on top
of akka-actor and akka-stream. It's not a web-framework but rather a more
general toolkit for providing and consuming HTTP-based services. While
interaction with a browser is of course also in scope it is not the primary
focus of Akka HTTP.

Akka HTTP follows a rather open design and many times offers several different
API levels for "doing the same thing". You get to pick the API level of
abstraction that is most suitable for your application. This means that, if you
have trouble achieving something using a high-level API, there's a good chance
that you can get it done with a low-level API, which offers more flexibility but
might require you to write more application code.

Reference Documentation
-----------------------

The reference documentation for all Akka libraries is available via [doc.akka.io/libraries/](https://doc.akka.io/libraries/), details for the Akka HTTP library
for [Scala](https://doc.akka.io/libraries/akka-http/current/?language=scala) and [Java](https://doc.akka.io/libraries/akka-http/current/?language=java).

The current versions of all Akka libraries are listed on the [Akka Dependencies](https://doc.akka.io/libraries/akka-dependencies/current/) page. Releases of the Akka HTTP library in this repository are listed on the [GitHub releases](https://github.com/akka/akka-http/releases) page.
