Akka.NET

Probably the most entertaining show and tell we've done for an Akka .NET Community Standup: "Grimmloch - Building an AI-Powered MMO with @AkkaDotNET " youtube.com/live/2Z4piVx8N…

Welp, @AkkaDotNET Cluster.Sharding passivization was responsible for a very weird bug in @TextForgeApp I'd been scratching my head over. Been wondering why my account showed as "not synced" for two days and why I wouldn't get Slack notifications sometimes. Turns out, syncing a big inbox takes longer than the default 2 minute automatic passivization timeout - and the actor that runs that job could never quite finish on-time.

Don't miss our community standup on Wednesday - "Grimmloch - Building an AI-Powered MMO with @AkkaDotNET " Learn how tools like Akka Persistence, Cluster.Sharding, and more all play a pivotal role in making games re-entrant, horizontally scalable, and fun! 🔗in next post

Phobos 2.11 is now live on @getsdkbin - big feature in this release is we've finally deprecated "append logs to trace" because log / trace correlation now works naturally via Akka .NET Hosting 1.5.60 and later. No more "double logs" and other annoyances

Working on getting Akka .Hosting and Akka .Management releases out the door shortly

Akka .NET v1.5.61 is now live on NuGet. Lots of fixes in this release: - [IMPORTANT] multiple edge-case Cluster.Sharding bugs - Fixed 2 Akka.Cluster edge-case bugs - and more See the full release notes here: github.com/akkadotnet/akk…

Tomorrow at 12pm CST - our February Akka .NET Community standup. Featuring: - Logging scopes + context enrichment - OTEL logging integration - Aspire support for Akka .Cluster - Source Generated Serialization preview for v1.6 🔗 in next post

Ryan Xu made a pluggable ETL pipeline engine on top of @AkkaDotNET and OSS'd it 👀

Haven't had a chance to give this a try in my own project yet but I have a proof of concept .NET Aspire plugin (Hosting and Client) for rigging up @AkkaDotNET clusters using service discovery w/ Redis by default - but it's also pluggable (tested with Azure Storage)

Should be part of Akka .NET V1.5.60

Using Akka .NET to build MMOs 🚀- wonder if we can get them to come and share more one of our community standups this year 🤔

Live in 30 minutes!

Interesting, someone built a desktop voice transcription app using Akka .NET (makes me feel bad that I used Python to make mine lol)

CJanuary Akka .NET Community Standup is Friday. 8 releases since November. Here's what we're covering: 🧵

Looks like the core @AkkaDotNET repo hit 5000 stars today. Nice, thank you!

Happy 2026 everyone - our first release of the year, 1.5.58, is now out with some big fixes: - Fix .NET 10 CLR shutdown hook breaking change - Fix TCP listener crashes / restarts - Fix perf issues with semantic logging - Numerous other small bug fixes

I now have @AkkaDotNET actors running as part of the GitHub actions PR validation for the @petabridge website - using my link-validator tool to help us detect broken links before publication! Nice to do a bit of dogfooding

We get asked "how do I introduce Akka .NET actors into my legacy applications?" quite frequently from developers. In today's blog post we offer a direct answer to this question using some of our experiences working on Sdkbin's massive overhaul.
