Simple SDK + powerful platform to build and run elastic, agile, and resilient apps that will not fail.
4.3
Overview
Demanding apps demand responsiveness.
They need to be ELASTIC with auto-scale capabilities, AGILE with zero-downtime, and RESILIENT with the ability to recover from any failure.
The big question is after trillions spent on cloud-native infrastructure, why are apps still experiencing responsiveness issues?
The answer is simple. The APP, not the infrastructure, must be responsible for its own responsiveness.
It's time to build and run apps that react to change.
Getting started is easy:
-
Sign up at https://console.akka.io/register and receive 500 hours of Akka usage - no credit card required.
-
Start building Akka apps locally with the Akka SDK. No cloud hosting, k8s, databases, or Akka fees required.
-
Ready to see what we can really do? Deploy into Akka's serverless environment with 500 hrs of free hosting. Scale to 1M IOPS or across regions.
-
If you love what you've created, you can migrate your app to a Bring-Your-Own-Cloud region for failover, disaster recovery and repatriation.
Operation Models: Pay-As-You-Go, Bring-Your-Own-Cloud, Self-Hosted
Serverless: For building and running app and service workloads with seamless scaling and flexible pay-as-you-go pricing through credit cards or marketplace fulfillment with no up-front costs. Only pay for the products you use at per-hour granularity. We run everything for you in our cloud. Available for direct purchase via AWS Marketplace.
Bring Your Own Cloud: For workloads that require data isolation and physical resource controls. We run everything for you in your VPC. Available via Private Offer.
Self-Hosted: For workloads where you need total control. You run everything in your VPC or datacenter. Customer provides their own Kubernetes (K8s or K3s), database and storage. Available via Private Offer.

Highlights
- Apps are in-memory databases, recoverable, and movable. Apps bundle their transactional data and logic together to eliminate coherence risks. Apps can recover state through event sourcing. Apps have location transparency for execution in environments close to end users.
- Apps have multiple readwrite instances. Apps can have multiple instances for increasing throughput horizontally and optimizing efficiency. Data is automatically sharded across instances. Write instances replicate and converge modifications to data - like Google docs for your apps data.
- Apps execute across hybrid environments. Apps securely self-organize through masterless clustering with built-in split brain resolution. Apps can federate across clouds, regions, or data centers through reliable gRPC and brokerless messaging.

Pricing
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single usage-based dimension billed in Akka Units under a contract model. You pay according to how much you consume rather than a fixed per-seat or per-instance rate. Consumption reflects running your agentic AI systems on the platform, which can install in the vendor's cloud, your VPC, or your Kubernetes. Because pricing is usage-based, your cost scales with the compute and workload you run. Exact unit rates depend on your configuration, so review the vendor's pricing page for details specific to your deployment.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Akka Units track usage of the platform runtime you consume, tied to the compute and workloads you run. The platform uses a shared compute model where components share one compute and memory pool. Exact unit definitions and rates depend on your deployment, so check the vendor's pricing page for specifics.
Your cost tracks the compute and workload you run, so it rises as usage grows. The platform offers elastic scale-to-zero with automatic cold-start, so you pay for what you use. Idle workloads that scale to zero reduce consumption. Review the vendor pricing page for how this maps to Akka Units.
This listing bills under a contract model using usage-based pricing in Akka Units. You pay according to what you consume rather than a flat fixed fee. Consumption reflects the compute and workloads you run on the platform. See the vendor's pricing page for rate details tied to your configuration.
