    Discontinued ZIO-powered microservices via HTTP and other protocols.

  • 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.

  • sbt-native-image

    Plugin to generate native-image binaries with sbt

  • Sbt plugin: https://github.com/scalameta/sbt-native-image

  • Scalatra

    Tiny Scala high-performance, async web framework, inspired by Sinatra

  • A minimalistic web framework. https://scalatra.org/ Good for small projects, kind of difficult to scale up. If you plan to learn something to find a job with it later, If rather bet on akka-http. But if you want to set up your own small project, it's a good choice.
