Overview
Akka.Management provides HTTP endpoints for cluster management and integrates with Akka.Cluster.Bootstrap to enable dynamic cluster formation using service discovery instead of static seed nodes.
Why Use Akka.Management?
| Approach | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Static Seed Nodes | Simple, no dependencies | Doesn't scale, requires known IPs |
| Akka.Management | Dynamic discovery, scales to N nodes | More configuration, external dependencies |
Use static seed nodes for: Development, single-node deployments, fixed infrastructure.
Use Akka.Management for: Kubernetes, auto-scaling groups, dynamic environments, production clusters.
