How Klout Scales with Play Framework, Akka and Scala
Today we're excited to share a new Typesafe case study, courtesy of the folks at Klout! Klout has been the leader in measuring online influence by calculating a user's social impact through extensive data mining. Before Klout could branch out into an important new market, they needed to ensure that they could overcome a rapidly growing technical hurdle first - data aggregation across several social networks and data stores in real time, with results instantaneously presented to end-users. Klout turned to the Typesafe Platform for the solution to its Big-Data problem.
