When using [Akka Streams](/languages-and-frameworks/akka-streams.html) to build
|
|
reactive data transformation services you usually need to connect to several
|
|
different services such as FTP, S3 buckets, AMQP brokers or different databases.
|
|
|
|
[Alpakka](https://developer.lightbend.com/docs/alpakka/current/) provides
|
|
integration building blocks for Akka Streams to access these services in a
|
|
reactive fashion and contains transformations for working with XML, CSV or
|
|
JSON structured data.
|
|
|
|
Combined, Akka Streams and Alpakka enable us to build small reactive
|
|
integration services with minimal resource consumption and good performance, and
|
|
are a good alternative to larger ESB solutions or integration tools.
