I have been using Akka in production for several years now and it's one of the best things I ever did.

The actor model itself is really good, it makes you think about problems differently, and in my opinion it's better than traditional OOP.

The only issue I have had with Akka is with the tooling around metrics/logging of async calls. The rest, what can I say, it's in production and I am barely on call because of issues- certainly not because I write bug free code, but because I believe the framework is really solid, while the actor model makes you think in a different and probably more simplified way which might help with developing simpler solutions.

I have also the feeling that it's niche, because of simpler frameworks like Springboot that offer most of what you need out of the box and it doesn't require additional "learning".

Yeah the debugging story around async stuff is not ideal, but I don’t what part of the stack is really at fault there. I want what Tokio recently got.
