Case Study: TeamMood achieves 100% uptime and scalable employee engagement with Akka

TeamMood delivers 100% uptime for 8+ years with Akka

TeamMood, an employee feedback platform, needed to build a secure and scalable system to manage anonymous mood data while meeting global privacy standards. Their initial implementation using Springboot and Java was too complex and insufficient. The challenge was to achieve this with a micro-sized team, which for them was a single developer. They chose to build their platform using Akka.

Using Akka, a single developer was able to build a distributed system that abstracted away backend complexity, enabling a focus on business logic. The solution delivered by Akka resulted in 100% uptime for over eight years with zero crashes, while serving over 20,000 users on a single server. This performance allowed TeamMood to achieve ISO 27001 certification and operate the entire platform without a dedicated operations team.
