Applied Performance Theory
How does your system perform under load? What are the bottlenecks, and how does it fail at its limits? How do you stay ahead as your system evolves and its workload grows? Performance theory offers a rigorous and practical (-- yes!) approach to performance tuning and capacity planning. In this...

Cluster Consensus: When Aeron Met Raft
Consensus protocols enable distributed systems to agree a common view of shared state. This common view allows a cluster to continue service while a majority of its members are available. Raft was designed to be understandable. Raft succeeded in this goal and became popular. Aeron was designed...

High Performance Actors
Typically, when looking at performance, organisations look at it in terms of resource utilisation. One way Akka actors stand out is by using resources very efficiently, while also maintaining the Reactive Principles such as resilience, i.e. the ability to react to failure in a non-catastrophic,...
