Hey @Marius-Stroe,

Kalix JVM SDK 1.5.0 ships with Akka 2.9.3. The artifacts for Akka 2.9 series as well as kalix jvm sdk 1.5.0 are only available in the Akka library repository and therefore, to upgrade your Kalix project to SDK v1.5.0, depending on the sdk flavor you are using, different changes might be required. Please, refer to the migration guide for all details. Also, find the complete release notes here.

Thanks for your interest!
