Hi, could someone recommend me something equivalent to akka-streams native to Kotlin, I need something lightweight that can handle backpressure and publish/subscribe patterns? thanks

[Ролан]

kotlinx-coroutines should be comparable? if someone ever used both

[Johannes Koenen]

Yeah Flow from kotlinx-coroutines is comparabale. Or rxjava/reactor.
If you're very sold on the Alpakka integrations you could also try using akka's Java api.

Interop between all those libraries is fairly good thanks to them all being reactive-streams compliant

[Johannes Koenen]

I'd suggest to start off with flow and coroutines, as you said.

Yes the akka ecosystem is awesome in that sense

Hey everyone. Just wanted report that in the end using coroutines based reactive streams in Kotlin was good enough for us to get running a platform fetching and processing limit order books from crypto-exchanges. Code available on this repo: https://github.com/grinisrit/noa-atra-examples
