The database is the bottleneck! | @lightbend
Briefly

Akka delivers high throughput by sharding write requests over many databases, avoiding using the database for read requests, thus breaking the bottleneck problem.
Entities in Akka are sharded over nodes, keeping state in memory for consistency, allowing for horizontal scalability with one instance per entity, simplifying programming and ensuring high performance.
