Spray framework (spray.cc) seems to be a fun and productive way to build REST

  • 0

Spray framework (spray.cc) seems to be a fun and productive way to build REST services using Scala & Akka. I come from Java + Spring school, where everything is well documented, mature and has good community support.

While Spray is fun to play with but it has its rough edges. I am skeptical about using it in a real application.

Has anyone used Spray in production environment? What about the open source community around Spray? Is it possible to get help easily?

UPDATE: How does Spray compare against BlueEyes (https://github.com/jdegoes/blueeyes)?

    We are using Spray in a telco middleware application and I would say Spray is production ready and,

    • lite weight and seamlessly integrates with Akka
    • Can easily test the services (No need to fire the container or Akka micro kernel)
    • Well documented comparing to BlueEyes
    • Marshaling/unmarshaling JSON is simple & efficient
    • Can get support from spray user mail group.

    I think BlueEyes does not have seamless integration with Akka or good documentation. Not sure it can be deployed inside a web container or akka kernel. Spray’s some features are copied from BlueEyes too.
