ActorDB – Distributed SQL database

I wonder what are the benefits in comparison to using Akka Persistence with whatever database you want?

Then you locked in Akka?

The author of this project is locked into Raft. What's the difference?

They are different layers of abstraction.

Storage and computing are two layers in a normal application. You are free to switch computing layers as long as storage layer speaking some standard protocol.

AKKA + AKKA persistent, how can you switch the computing layer?

RAFT is an algorithm and Akka is a "framework" ?

The connection is made over the mysql protocol, and it is SQL, so you could migrate to mysql/mariadb if need arises.

Akka includes a facility for distributed data based on CRDTs, but I can't recall what it uses for consensus.
