• https://github.com/akka/akka-persistence-couchbase

Scala 2.13

• First focus on a subset of Akka modules that would unlock Play

OpenShift/Kubernetes

• [x] Route for health check and readiness check
• [ ] Use Redhat's images
• [x] Move akka-discovery

  • [ ] Avoid ask for cached entries
• [x] Documentation improvements
  • [x] Rolling updates
  • [x] SBR bootstrap considerations
• [ ] More samples
  • [ ] Only akka-sample-cluster-kubernetes-scala

Whitesource

• Look into security vulnerabilities in dependencies
  • update dependencies

JDK 11

• Finish JDK 11 TcpConnection issue fix https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/25923
• JDK 11 builds/tests with AdoptOpenJDK 11 Hotspot
