## What it is
squbs is a suite of components from PayPal that standardizes and operationalizes Akka/Pekko Streams and Akka/Pekko HTTP applications for large-scale, managed cloud deployments. It provides a uniform lifecycle, configuration, monitoring, an admin console, testing conventions, and a pluggable module system while developers still program directly against Akka libraries.

## Use cases
- standardize akka http service deployment across many teams
- add consistent monitoring and admin console to akka applications
- run akka streams apps in large-scale production
- bootstrap akka projects from templates
- integrate akka services into enterprise operations tooling

## When to choose
- you run many Akka/Pekko HTTP services at enterprise scale and need uniform lifecycle, monitoring, and deployment
- you want Akka-based server infrastructure without a heavy framework
- you need consistent operational views across thousands of JVM services

## When to avoid
- you are building a small single Akka application without operational scale needs
- you are not using Akka/Pekko or the JVM
- you need a framework with opinionated application structure rather than infrastructure hooks

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, http-client, web-framework, middleware, monitoring, testing, routing
- domain: backend, web-development, developer-tools, microservices
- platform: jvm, cross-platform, cloud
- tags: akka, akka-http, akka-streams, pekko, reactive, scala, enterprise, actor-system, service-infrastructure
