New Name - Cloudstate is now Akka Serverless
The Serverless experience is revolutionary and will grow to dominate the future of cloud computing; however, Function-as-a-Service (FaaS)—with its ephemeral, stateless, and short-lived functions—is only the first step.
FaaS is great for processing intensive, parallelizable workloads: moving data from A to B providing enrichment and transformation along the way, for example. But it is quite limited and constrained in the use-cases it addresses well, which makes it a poor choice for general-purpose application development and distributed systems protocols.
In this webinar by Jonas Bonér, creator of Akka and CTO/Co-Founder of Lightbend, we take a look at Cloudstate. Cloudstate lets you model, manage, and scale stateful services while preserving responsiveness by designing for resilience and elasticity. We’ll specifically review:
Cloudstate is ready for you to try! Begin a stateful serverless experience with JavaScript, Java, and Go, and let us know what you think @cloudstateIO on Twitter.
