Alpakka

Updated to "adopt"

When using Akka Streams to build reactive data transformation services you usually need to connect to several services such as FTP, S3 buckets, AMQP brokers or different databases.

Alpakka provides integration building blocks for Akka Streams to access these services in a reactive fashion and contains transformations for working with XML, CSV or JSON structured data.

Combined, Akka Streams and Alpakka enable us to build small reactive integration services with minimal resource consumption and good performance, and are a good alternative to larger ESB solutions or integration tools.
