The Akka Streams API has the following benefits:
- It avoids lots of boilerplate code to implement Actors. Akka Stream's Materializer creates the required Actors under the hood to execute the Graphs.
- It offers reusability. Once we design Data Flow Graph (DFG), we can reuse it any number of times.
- It offers composability. We can compose Akka Streams components easily to solve complex data-processing problems.
- It is built on Akka Toolkit. We will get all Akka Toolkit benefits, such as Reactiveness, Distributed, Location Transparency, Clustering, Remoting, and more, for free.
- It is very useful for fast streaming data.
- It is best suited for big data-based applications.
- It is best suited for Cloud-based applications. ...
