Aggregate in Axon vs Actor in AKKA

Viewed 521

I used Axon framework recently in implementing micro service based on event-sourcing. Axon has Aggregate definition that i think is very similar to actor in Akka. is there any different between Actor in AKKA and Aggregate in AXON?

Both Axon Aggregates and Akka actors are capable of processing "Command Messages" if you are using the CQRS/ES pattern. While Akka is based on the Actor Threading model, Axon is based on Java. A deeper dive into the differences can be found in this article on AxonIQ's website -> https://axoniq.io/blog-overview/axon-and-akka---how-do-they-compare . This gives a far more holistic comparison of the two platforms.

Thanks, Vijay
