copied!<p>The important thing to realize about Akka is that it's not an all-or-nothing environment. You can, to a large degree, mix and match different libraries to compose the system that makes sense for you. For instance, I have written apps that use <a href="https://github.com/codahale/dropwizard">Dropwizard</a> fronting a backend which uses Akka, without issue. I have also done the same with <a href="https://github.com/kirindave/clothesline">Clothesline</a> (implemented in Clojure, but with a <a href="https://github.com/tlockney/Clothesline-Scala">Scala wrapper</a>). And later this week, I hope to experiment with using <a href="https://github.com/unfiltered/Unfiltered">Unfiltered</a>'s <a href="https://github.com/unfiltered/unfiltered/tree/master/netty-websockets">websocket implementation</a> to sit in front of Akka and a RabbitMQ pipe for feeding near real-time data to the client browsers -- I specifically mention this example because the Unfiltered websocket impl sits on top of <a href="http://www.jboss.org/netty">Netty</a> rather than a servlet container).</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: Since having written this answer a few years back, I've begun using <a href="http://spray.io/">Spray</a> exclusively for RESTful development with Akka. While pretty much any JVM REST library can be used, Spray fits very naturally into Akka's actor-based model and the library has clearly reached a level of maturity where it can easily be the default choice. The upcoming integration of Spray into Akka as the new akka-http module is a clear indication of this.</p>
