I was planning to use the distributed data feature of Akka to store data for more than 15 million subscribers of a digital service provider. Each subscriber can contain purchased offerings, balances etc which would then be looked up in real time by actors for performing computations specific to a subscriber. These computations would result in updates to subscriber data with the hope that if such data was stored as CRDTs then the updates could be synchronised across actors/nodes without coordination.
But I then happened to read the limitation of akka distributed data that it is not recommended to use it for more than 100k top level objects. I guess My use case would need at least a number equal to the number of subscribers in the system. Is there a way around this ? Or are there any plans to increase this limit to allow large datasets ? Or is it just a recommenDation or a hard limit in the akka distributed module ?
If I understand correctly for my use case is 100k going to be the limit for the number of subscribers ?
Thanks!!!
