netty - Playframework 2.6.x: Why Akka HTTP is default from now? -


the question why playframework team decided migrate netty akka? more efficient in performance meaning?

play switched using akka default because:

  • play uses akka , akka streams internally, , model akka http uses representing requests , responses closer play's.
  • it's easier play team work akka team. in part due shared philosophy , goals due fact both teams work lightbend. hoped improved communication play team implement new features , fix bugs , security issues more quickly.

the play team believe performance on akka @ least on netty. find not true encouraged raise issue them.

all above taken email thread on play dev list.

note: play continues support netty if you'd rather use netty can manually select it:

if reason have both akka http server , netty http server on classpath, you’ll need manually select it. can done using play.server.provider system property, example, in dev mode:

run -dplay.server.provider=play.core.server.nettyserverprovider
