6. use Fluent HTTP as backend web framework

Date: 2018-01-01

Status

Accepted

Context

Java web development is very heavy or old fashioned (play, struts, SpringMVC, Tomcat...) and we wanted Datashare standalone to be run on small machines.

Decision

We will use fluent HTTP that is working with java-nio (asynchronous), is very lightweight and self-contained (no need for an additional web app server.

Consequences

We will need to make changes to Fluent HTTP to improve, fix bugs.
