Hi Konrad, Thanks. I know all of Akka's concept (reading the documentation and articles) and I understand it is a little funny Q. On top of that - of course we will continue to POC. As I mentioned we are confident with Akka and using it's advantages BUT since we are new to Akka, we had some debate and one argument was "let NLB do what it knows and let the application do it's part". Because that we understand (think :)) that Akka should be capable on delivering the inter load balancing - we just wanted to get some strengthening from the Experts and Experienced before/while continuing to the POC.
So if I may, let me be clearer - let say my "instance" consisted of: 4 physical servers (each with 12 cores & 128 GB memory), total 14 VM machines. And let say that the OLTP modules and API zone take half of this horse power (other half go to UI, application and DB) Do you know of any successive implementation of Akka's routing & load balancing with numbers close to my above requirements?
