Hi, i am reading your project, why do you choose Akka Actor for working as High concurrency, can u tell me the reason, the pros and cons of Actor Akka, why don't you choose another reactive stream like RxJava, Reactive...

I think the main advantage of using Akka is about creating robust and concise code and avoiding any thread safety issues. RxJava/Reactor library also has a similar advantage to Akka(especially the "Actor model"). But Akka is a framework that covers a vast field(streams, persistence, clustering, etc) and can be easily deployed as a unified flow when deployed to multiple JVMs. I suggest you read the following article. https://medium.com/priceline-labs/choosing-a-reactive-framework-for-the-jvm-ec66f6cde552
