CTO ask CTO: Jonas Bonér, creator of Akka – distributed systems, the Akka Platform and AI

“Two CTOs walk into the bar…”

What happens when two CTOs passionate about the Akka platform, distributed systems, and tech in general sit down for a conversation? Innovation takes center stage.

We’re excited to announce the launch of our brand-new podcast: CTO asks CTO – a series dedicated to in-depth conversations between technology leaders.

All about Akka – inside the first episode

In this premiere, Scalac’s CTO Łukasz Marchewka sits down with Jonas Bonér – the creator and CTO of Akka and a leading expert in distributed architectures.

Together, they dive into some of the most pressing topics in modern software development, including:

  • How to build and scale distributed systems
  • The power and future of the Akka Platform
  • The impact of AI on system architecture
    …and so much more!

At Scalac, we believe innovation thrives through collaboration. That’s why working closely with the creators of Akka feels like a natural fit. We’re better together – and this conversation proves it.

Distributed systems, Akka, and more!
