+Apache Pekko
+============
 
-We believe that writing correct concurrent & distributed, resilient and elastic applications is too hard.
-Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
+Apache Pekko is an open-source framework for building applications that are concurrent, distributed, resilient and elastic.
 
-Akka is here to change that.
+Pekko uses the Actor Model to provide more intuitive high-level abstractions for concurrency. Using these abstractions, Pekko also provides libraries for persistence, streams, HTTP, and more.
 
-Using the Actor Model we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications. This model is a perfect match for the principles laid out in the [Reactive Manifesto](https://www.reactivemanifesto.org/).
-
-For resilience, we adopt the "Let it crash" model which the telecom industry has used with great success to build applications that self-heal and systems that never stop.
-
-Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
-
-Learn more at [akka.io](https://akka.io/).
+Pekko is fork of [Akka](https://github.com/akka/akka) 2.6.x, prior to the Akka project's adoption of the Business Source License.
