Drinking a river of IoT data with Akka NET

Claims Akka.NET scales IoT ingestion to very large fleets using the actor model, with 2 million messages on a laptop versus Petabridge’s 50 million messages claim. Implementation uses Akka.Remote for cross-node actor references, Akka.Persistence for event‑sourced device state, an App Service as a pausable ingestion buffer, and a parent/proxy pattern that spawns per‑device actors plus a hot/cold storage split (working set in memory, cold SQL for long history). Deploys require pausing ingestion, draining inboxes, and automated restart/sharding to avoid bottlenecks.
