note this is based on my understanding of the akka remoting
implementation (akka devs correct me if i'm wrong)...
the drawback of using akka remoting is that is uses a single channel (a
single TCP connection) for all communication. this reduces concurrency
between remoting peers, and introduces the potential for head-of-line
blocking if a peer sends large message payloads or lots of messages.
the advantage of this design is that there are stronger message ordering
guarantees than if multiple channels were open between remoting peers.
for control plane operations (infrequent, small messages, low
concurrency), i think remoting is an excellent choice. for data plane
operations (high message throughput, variable message payloads, high
concurrency) i think you're better off with akka http, spray, or any of
the RPC frameworks like thrift.

Hi,
We are coding in Scala and we decided to use akka-remoting for our
microservices communication instead of JSON APIs. It's very concise
and simple and you don't have to deal with manual JSON serialization
until you need backward compatibility. Then you have to put aside
default java serializer and use something like JSON. It's OK but I
don't see many people use json serializer or alike for akka-remoting.
Instead they tend to use akka-http, Spray, etc. and build a standard
JSON API using a web framework.
I think using the akka-remoting serialization would be more concise
and simpler than other methods because you just work with case classes
which is very pleasant. What is your experiences? What do you advice?
Thanks
