Akka provides powerful scheduling capabilities to execute tasks at fixed intervals or after certain delays, beneficial for background tasks, health checks, and cache invalidation.

Akka is now the first application runtime to provide multi-master replication, which is made possible because Akka applications have access to their own in-memory databases with writable conflict-free replicated data types running globally.

Akka's database sharding feature in version 24.05 allows achieving unprecedented throughput on standard relational databases such as PostgreSQL, typically associated with high-priced databases.
