• Play Framework 2.6.x uses the Akka HTTP Server as the default backend server
• By default, the Java NIO2 API or the JBoss Netty Server support non-blocking functionality
• By design, it is a responsive web framework (responsive = asynchronous + non-blocking)
• By design, it is a reactive web framework (Reactive = Responsive + Resilient + Elastic + Message-Driven)
• It does not use a HTTP Request-Response Based Service 3.x API to support asynchronous ...
