Lightbend provides a cloud-native microservices platform for building distributed applications. The company's flagship product is Akka, a toolkit for developing concurrent distributed applications based on the actor model. Akka enables the creation of highly concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant event-driven applications for Java and Scala. In 2022, Lightbend changed Akka's license from Apache 2.0 to the Business Source License (BSL) 1.1, requiring paid licenses for companies with over USD 25 million in annual revenue to use Akka in production.

Lightbend also offers Kalix, a serverless-based managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that simplifies cloud-native application development. Kalix manages aspects of building scalable, data-centric microservices and APIs, eliminating the need for databases, caches, service meshes, and API gateways. The platform supports traditional Key Value state models as well as Event Sourcing and CQRS, enabling the development of large-scale high-performance applications. In February 2023, Frost & Sullivan recognized Lightbend with the 2022 North American Serverless Computing Company of the Year Award for Kalix.

The company provides various tools and services to support the development and deployment of reactive applications. These include Lightbend Telemetry for monitoring and insights, and the Lightbend Academy, which offers training courses on Akka and reactive architecture. Lightbend reported revenue of USD 20 million in 2021 and has raised approximately USD 80 million from investors.
