description: Lightbend, Inc. (dba Akka) is the company behind the Akka agentic systems platform. Founded as Typesafe by the
  creators of the Scala language and the Akka actor toolkit, the company built the JVM reactive stack — Akka actors, Akka
  Streams, Akka HTTP, Akka gRPC, Akka Cluster and Play Framework — before pivoting to a full-stack platform for production
  agentic AI and rebranding to Akka. The current product line covers the Akka SDK (agents, orchestration, memory, streaming,
  HTTP/gRPC/MCP endpoints), Akka Automated Operations for multi-region deployment and operations, an in-runtime governance
  and policy-enforcement engine aligned to the EU AI Act, and Akka Specify, a delivered spec-driven path onto the same platform.
  lightbend.com now redirects to akka.io; the JVM library API surface is catalogued separately in the api-evangelist akka
  repository.
