Alpakka with Akka cluster samples?

Hello,

My team is trying to evaluate whether we can use Alpakka with Akka cluster to build some sort of distributed stream processing service (part of a bigger solution) … we’re using Java, most data is coming from kafka (for now) and the whole thing will be deployed to K8s.
I was wondering if there’s some example projects out there in Alpakka with Akka cluster, I can look at to try and build a poc ?

my other question is : how should we go by scaling pods up and down in K8s based on how much events we’re processing in the Akka cluster ?

TIA
Khaled
