Akka.NET 2024 Community Standups

[Aaronontheweb]

Well well, we're onto our third year of continued Akka.NET Community Standups and this is our official discussion thread for posting updates about each of them. WE ARE ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR SPEAKERS, SO PLEASE LOOK AT #5690 IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING.

Akka.NET Community Standups are a once-a-month meeting that happens on the second Wednesday of each month and is live-streamed via Petabridge’s YouTube channel.

Structure of Each Standup

1. Recap of most recent releases (10 min) - we should talk about the work that was performed since the last standup, its impact on end-users, and what we learned in the course of performing that work.
2. Plans for future work (10 min) - what are we working on next, why, and why should users care?
3. Opportunities to contribute (5 min) - what help would we like from the Akka.NET end-user community?
4. Show and Tell (~20 min) - give members of the Akka.NET team and community opportunities to showcase their work built on top of Akka.NET. See Wanted: Akka.NET Community Standup "Show and Tell" Stories #5690 for opportunities to apply.
5. Q&A (~10 min) - show and tell presenters along with the Akka.NET team should take questions via YouTube Live from the audience.

Standups are second Wednesday of each month starting at 12pm CST.

May 15th, 2024 meeting agenda is live here: https://petabridge.notion.site/5-15-2024-Akka-NET-Community-Standup-0b6a6dd4ca2f4a0e974056afe744ebb5

We'll be discussing recent Akka.NET releases, including a complete rewrite of Akka.Persistence.EventStore with the latest EventStore drivers and best practices, as well as major bug fixes and performance improvements. We're also introducing TurboMqtt - the fastest and most efficient Mqtt library in .NET.

Are we need setup a MQTT Server before use TurboMQTT?

[Aaronontheweb]

You'll need to use an MQTT broker - before you can use TurboMQTT. Here's an example of how to set up EMQX with Docker:

docker run -d --name emqx-bench -p 1883:1883 -p 18083:18083 `
-e EMQX_MQTT__MAX_MQUEUE_LEN=100000 `
-e EMQX_FORCE_SHUTDOWN__ENABLE=false `
-e EMQX_MQTT__MAX_INFLIGHT=1000 `
emqx/emqx

You can describe different between TurboMQTT and other client MQTT liblary.

[Aaronontheweb]

TurboMqtt is significantly faster, lower in resource utilization, less error-prone, and works using backpressure-aware streams rather than event handlers, which makes it easier to reason about as a consumer. In the future we're also going to add support for QUIC, which is something that no other MQTT client does in .NET today.
