Using Akka without Lagom is not a bad decision in any way, many have successfully done that and more will continue to do so.
To make the answer to your question complete I would like to add that Lagom is not only adding a high level, opinionated, API. It's also providing: - development environment <http://www.lagomframework.com/documentation/1.0.x/java/DevEnvironment.html>which hot-reloads your services when code changes - out-of-the-box (still optional) integration with Lightbend ConductR for production <http://www.lagomframework.com/documentation/1.0.x/java/Overview.html> aspects On Mon, Jul 4, 2016 at 1:24 AM, Tal Beno <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you.
