Hi, I created a similar post some time ago but the circumstances were a bit different, the project I'm working at the moment has the requirement of processing messages within 5ms, and I chose Akka remote to do this job, the project also requires to be distributed so again, Akka remote with clustering was the clear candidate, I have done lots of research and have done the following:
- Properly configured Netty TCP client and server pools. - Properly configured serialization using Kryo. - I have created small, immutable and concise Java classes for sending messages between remote actors. - I have configured properly Akka remote thread pools. And it doesn't matter what I do, I still get a high time with the 1st few messages, I cannot make my application send messages in less than 2ms to 5ms after initial warm up, sometimes it takes even more, I would be curious about low latency applications out there that use Akka remote, the state of Akka remote IMHO is "out-dated?" I think it needs more attention, I'm quite sure the community appreciates so many features you guys are releasing but I think remote communication is not only an important but crucial aspect of Akka. In my old post someone mentioned there would be an Akka remote rewritten using Akka streams, it has been some reasonable time now to start thinking about, Akka 2.4, Akka HTTP 1.0 are already released and still Akka remote is using Netty 3, a shorter time alternative would be to just migrate Akka remote to Netty 4 which someone has proven already it faster and consistent for Akka.
