Software Engineer at Lightbend (part of #Akka team, building http://kalix.io). Former active member @alumnieifeup (organizer of @commitportoconf). Eventually consistent.
Latest #Akka release 24.05 is packed with a bunch of cool things:
- new DB sharding allows for 1M req/s on 8 RDS instances
- GraalVM native images
- native Akka on resource-constrained devices
- #Java 21 certified
- new features to enable #ZeroTrust setups

Reminder that the only safe dummy domains to use are:
- example.com
- example.net
- example.org
And nowadays there's also a safe dummy TLD: .example
These are safe because they are reserved by IANA as as special-use domain names for documentation purposes on direction of IETF in RFC 2606 and RFC 6761.
Any other domain can be registered and as such should _never_ be used as a dummy domain for documentation or as eg. an example in default configs.
📢 Happy to share this small blog post I wrote on the improvements we did for Akka Clusters Rolling Updates in Kubernetes, included in the latest Akka 23.05.
TLDR: lower latencies and less failed requests. Details here: http://bit.ly/Akka_Blog_faster-and-smoother-rolling-updates #akka #kubernetes
#Akka 23.05 is released!
me: I try to avoid the kind of working groups that are like... hobby forums, but the hobby is talking about real technical problems that aren't getting staffed properly.
@aiiane: I like to call this "admiring the problem"
Admiring the problem. I love it 😂
A population density map of Portugal minus the outlying islands. They will come in a later version; need to think about and experiment with layout but didn't want to delay sharing any longer.

Found an incredibly useful app for finding people to follow on Mastodon. It crawls your social graph then finds the people who your followers follow the most that you don't follow.
