What is Akka? Build powerful concurrent & distributed applications more easily. Akka is a toolkit and runtime for building highly concurrent, distributed, and resilient message-driven applications on the JVM.
What is Node.js? A platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
Akka belongs to "Concurrency Frameworks" category of the tech stack, while Node.js can be primarily classified under "Frameworks (Full Stack)".
"Great concurrency model" is the top reason why over 22 developers like Akka, while over 1320 developers mention "Npm" as the leading cause for choosing Node.js.
