Akka.NET
A .NET port of the Akka actor model framework for building concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems in C# and F#.
What is Akka.NET?
Akka.NET is a .NET implementation of the actor model framework, originally from the Scala/Java Akka project. It provides a toolkit for building concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems using actors that process messages asynchronously. It solves challenges like thread-safe concurrency, stream processing, and high availability in distributed environments.
.NET developers building high-performance, concurrent, or distributed applications, such as real-time systems, streaming platforms, or microservices architectures that require resilience and scalability.
Developers choose Akka.NET for its idiomatic .NET integration of the proven Akka actor model, offering built-in solutions for concurrency, distribution, and fault tolerance without manual lock management. Its extensive ecosystem (Akka.Streams, Akka.Persistence, Akka.Cluster) provides specialized tools for complex use cases.
