Re: [akka-user] Re: Akka WebSocket as an Api
Wanted to ask about your considerations for tradeoffs for using Play vs straight Akka-Http-Stream and Websockets? Akka is a toolkit. Play is a framework. If it's a "web app" Play would be better. If it's "raw api" I would recommend Akka HTTP though quite honestly it's a personal preference thing (either way). Streaming is more of a 1st class citizen in Akka, it's "somewhat" in Play. Is this the best forum for such a question; or Quora, or elsewhere? Yes this is the right forum (or gitter.im/akka/akka) for such light discussion. -- konrad -- >> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >> Check the FAQ: >> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.

Hello!
Wanted to ask about your considerations for tradeoffs for using Play vs
straight Akka-Http-Stream and Websockets?
Is this the best forum for such a question; or Quora, or elsewhere?
Thanks!

[akka-user] Re: Akka WebSocket as an Api
Hello! Wanted to as what your considerations were on tradeoffs for going
for the Play approach as opposed to straight Akka-Http-Stream and
Websockets approach? Or, perhaps suggest the best forum to get such info
-- Quora maybe?

[akka-user] Re: Akka WebSocket as an Api
Any interaction with the "out" actor should probably be inside your
HandlerClass actor, I'd call that ChatConnection or something more
descriptive. If more actors wants to interact with it you should create
protocol for those actions and keep the actual interaction with "out"
inside that ChatConnection, so if you want a registry of all current
connections for example, that would be another actor that each
ChatConnection interacts with through messages.
As you are a Lightbend customer, let's continue this through the support
channel.
