EventStream handles local in-process actor messaging within a single node, while DistributedPubSub extends publish/subscribe messaging cluster-wide across multiple nodes. This Skill clarifies selecting the correct messaging primitive for your actor system topology.

Define supervision strategies in Akka.NET by establishing restart policies and child lifecycle management for fault containment. This Skill outlines error handling patterns for when to catch exceptions, escalate failures, or let the supervision tree handle actor restarts.

Use simple Props for basic actor instantiation and DependencyResolver when integrating DI containers for complex actor dependencies. This Skill provides guidance on choosing between Props and DependencyResolver patterns to balance maintainability and integration.

Scaling Akka.NET actors uses routing and batching patterns to distribute work across cluster nodes or within a single node. This Skill covers work distribution approaches for scaling actor systems efficiently across typical enterprise scenarios.

Handle actor failures in an Akka.NET cluster by configuring supervision trees with appropriate restart policies for fault containment. This Skill enforces safe messaging patterns and restart policies to improve system resilience and maintainability across distributed nodes.
