Build a production-grade Pekko cluster that’s both a realistic test bed for runtime-entangled ideas like yours and something you can actually deploy and maybe make money with :)

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve been working on a project using Pekko Cluster.

github.com/apache/pekko...

I think this might be just as important as the Split Brain Resolver which, if I remember right, also came out of academic work. I can see your Actor GC similar role for long-running, dynamic systems. Feels like one of those missing pieces we didn’t know we needed until now.

What really surprises me is how this was never a broader topic of discussion. Maybe the Akka community did talk about it somewhere, but I think many of us just assumed actors would clean themselves up by design.
