[akka-user] Akka HTTP performance for short lived connections

[Adam]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there's an expected (even rough) date for when Akka HTTP 
will have similar (or hopefully better :-) ) performance as other HTTP 
libraries\frameworks like Spray or Play.
Specifically, I'm more interested in the scenario of short lived 
connections, which I remember was said to not yet be optimized in one of 
the previous release's release notes.

For example, for my local test I've used ab with a simple Hello World 
handler that just serializes a small json as a response.

It's in our plans, can't promise dates though; the infamous 3DRealms "when
it's done" would fit I guess... :-)

OK, thanks.

So just to be certain - in the meantime, is it expected that I'll see Akka HTTP 
perform ~100 times worse (or let's just say "much worse") than Play framework 
for such cases?

I was hoping it's actually something that I'm doing wrong because I was 
expecting it to be worse per the README, but still at the same order of 
magnitude.
