Descriptors

Descriptors support structured configuration across multiple Akka regions and Akka projects. They are applied through the Akka CLI.

  • The Project descriptor defines the complete configuration for an Akka project and may even be used to create a new project.

  • The Service descriptor defines the configuration for a service resource.

  • The Route descriptor describes the way ingress traffic is routed to your Akka services.

  • Through the External secret descriptor an Akka service is configured to source secrets from an external secret manager.

  • The Observability descriptor describes how metrics, logs, and traces are exported to third party services.
