The example was very helpful thank you. I totally get how Lagom can help Java user with no knowledge of the underlying technologies. What I am missing are the use-cases where Lagom can help Akka projects. I know that the example was not intending to answer that, but one may look at these examples and conclude that there is minimal added value. Moreover, I may be mistaken but now I can implement a service call in Akka-HTTP, Play (which is different), and Lagom (services calls). This could be confusing for strategists who consider embedding Lightbend technologists into their stack.
If I may, here is a second question please. If I have theoretically a young startup looking for focus and already concluded Akka is useful, what are the arguments to add Lagom into the mix? Much appreciated! Regards, Tal Beno On Sunday, July 3, 2016 at 2:36:17 AM UTC-4, Patrik Nordwall wrote: > > Lagom is built on top of Akka and Play and adds a high level, opinionated, > API.
