Thanks Justin. I also have the same feeling that this is not the right way.
My idea was to implement micro services but instead of having standalone HTTP servers for each service I was thinking to have actor system for each service and join them together in a single Akka cluster. To be more specific, in our organization I would allow other teams to implement their own actor system which we would run on our cluster. But I need to make sure that their code doesn't mess with the rest of the cluster. On Thursday, March 16, 2017 at 9:50:37 AM UTC-7, Justin du coeur wrote: > > What's the underlying need here?
