In what way do you mean "is mapper worth it"? What kind of system is it? do you need ACID or BASE? What kind of load will the system be under? Do you need it to be distributed? You are not restricted to Mapper, you could use JPA or whatever persistence you want with lift.
If you just want to make a pretty simple service tier, then sure, Lift will be fine. Akka works well when you need fault tolerance or distributed nodes etc etc Cheers, Tim On Jan 5, 3:34 am, vishnu <[email protected]> wrote: > well I'm not sure how to describe it differently.
