In its latest rendition, Lightbend’s Akka distributed computing platform features a programming model enabling developers to build a cloud-native application once and have it work across both edge and cloud environments.
Called Akka Edge, the model eliminates high latency, large footprint, and complexity barriers posed by edge computing, Lightbend said on October 31. Developers can focus on business logic instead of time-consuming tool integrations and no longer have to use different solutions for the cloud and edge.
