Services

A Service is the core unit of deployment and scale in Akka. A service contains all the domain objects, components, and endpoints outlined in Architecture model. A service in Akka equates neatly to a microservice in general.

Akka Services are deployed to Projects where they run and are grouped with other services. Services are fundamentally managed independently in keeping with established microservice principles, though some operations at the project level will be performed on all services, they are not done in an atomic unit.

Services can be managed via the Akka CLI or the Akka Console. See Deploy and manage services for more on how to manage services.
