This blog post continues the previous post on understanding the actor model to build non-blocking, high-throughput distributed systems. It explains how Akka runs actors in clusters in a non-blocking way using the Gossip protocol, which facilitates communication between actors in a peer-to-peer fashion, while avoiding system bottlenecks. It also discusses the best practices for collaborating actors in the same JVM to ensure message delivery reliability and dodge network latency. If youre interested in learning more about distributed clusters and applications, give this post a read!
