Is Scala and Play Framework dying?
Two alternatives for service frameworks come to mind. Finatra, the tried-and-tested service framework built and maintained by Twitter. Alternatively, ZIO (and its broader ecosystem) is a rising start that fully embraces functional programming and all its incredible benefits.

Purge the board of directors of Twacker.
I’m a software engineer. Twitter’s original code was REALLY good - they open sourced some of it back in the day). They still need tech talent to keep it site running smoothly.

Fun with generics: REST HTTP handler proof-of-concept
This comes dangerously close to functional services as popularized by Twitter et al and encapsulated in the well known Finagle library. I don’t know but I strongly suspect /u/peterbourgon was heavily influenced by this while developing the notion of Endpoints in his reasonably well known go-kit library, although it’s significantly less general due mostly to limitations in Go’s type system.

Akka became the de-facto solution for Scala web development?
Finagle, possibly with Finch on top.

Unix and Microservice Platforms
OK, so let's say you follow this approach. Twitter did precisely this with their Finagle RPC system. Functionality like request metrics, traffic splitting, retries, and more was coded once and then shared across every service at Twitter. Well, that is, every service at Twitter that runs on the JVM.
