Akka & Pekko Streams

Akka Streams, now succeeded by Pekko Streams, provide a powerful way to handle streams of data reactively and efficiently. These libraries offer tools to define data processing pipelines with backpressure, ensuring that data flows smoothly between components without overwhelming any part of the system. Think of it as an assembly line for data, where each stage performs a specific operation, and the system as a whole adapts to varying rates of input.
