Hi ash.ta, Akka is not only about Actors, but about Actors and Messages, as the Actors communicate each other only by exchange of Messages.
In an Akka Cluster, because of the Location Transparency, the Actors can collaborate each other without the need to be aware of were the other Actor is running (locally or remote). Each of my service expose a "module-protocol" module which expose the service API in term of domain classes and Messages (Sometime also a Trait that encapsulate the Actor communication). This module protocol provides also the way to locating the remote actor, using the SingletonProxy or ClusterShardingProxy for example. Hope it will help you.
