Avoid using remoting directly and reach for Akka Cluster instead if you want to build a distributed system.
For isolated systems/services/microservices that you want connect a separate more explicit protocol (HTTP, gRPC or something along those lines) can be a better idea as it make a more clear cut between services and avoids the quite complicated task of making sure each service to have a compatible version of Akka, Scala, third party libraries which could potentially force you to always deploy a new version of every service every time you want to upgrade one of them. -- Johan Akka Team On Friday, December 1, 2017 at 11:50:26 AM UTC+1, Seoras Ashby wrote: > > akka remoting is fabulous for exchanging small messages.
