What are the side effects of upgrading akka from 2.1.2 to 2.5.24 ?
Is there anything special should be done if upgrading akka version ?

If I’ve upgraded akka to 2.5.24 version for just one project, do the other projects that still use 2.1.2 will keep working as expected ??

Your answer is appreciated here!

Quite a lot has changed since, you’ll have to go through the migration guides in the docs one minor version (2.x - 2.y) one at a time and see if it affects your application: https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/project/migration-guides.html

Thanks,
I think upgrading akka would be a problematic process
