Do you have a list of users that use spray in production?
Also, are there any benchmark results for spray (load testing, performance,...)?

I think these information would be interesting for anyone who is considering spray for restful api servers.

Thanks,
Stjepan

At Pongr, Spray powers the restful api used by our iPhone & Android apps and has been in production for a few months now. We use spray-routing on top of spray-can, wrapped into one fat jar. We are very happy with Spray.

Cool! It's nice to hear positive feedback since choosing appropriate framework in the "sea" of frameworks is a difficult task.

Thanks

Stephan,

we also have this page:
http://spray.io/project-info/references/
which we are still seeking additional content for.

@zach:
Would you mind if I include your comment

We at http://metaforsoftware.com/ just went live with Spray in production for the REST backend of our "single-page" web app a couple weeks ago. Very low volume, since we're still in semi-private beta, but I'm very happy with it so far. The immutable request/response model is a huge win for clarity and composability.

Alex,

great!
Can I put your quote on the reference page as well?

Also: Anyone who would like to appear with a logo, a backlink to his spray-using company/organization/project and an (optional) quote:
Please PM me at any time!

Cheers,

We are using Spray at Timetrade.com, in 3 REST service components so far, as well as some stress testing code. We've found it to be of excellent quality and embodies a very nice immutable model of HTTP. The team behind it is very responsive and helpful.  Feel free to use us as a reference. I can supply a copy of our logo if you would like.

We are running spray in front of our ad-server at nokta.com, hosting ads for several high-volume websites (millions of visitors everyday). 3 servers are deployed with custom tarball with dependencies copied in it, and are running with custom init-scripts. We've started with play2 but switched to spray in the first week of production and never looked back. Besides technical merits, and active community is what makes a project awesome. So i'd like to thank Mathias and everyone involved for keeping it up.

Mathias,

We'd love to be mentioned. And i'm looking forward to contribute to spray more actively after we've tighten up some loose ends (in some other projects :) ).
Reference looks perfect.

Thanks again.

At Tinga (www.tingatech.com) , we decided to use spray+akka instead of using play + akka, as we would like to have a clear separation of API layer from presentation layer. We are still in the earlier stage of building out our infrastructure.  I am impressed by the communities and responsiveness from the spray team. For example, CakeSolution has shared their experience using spray + akka via blogs and codes (akka-pattern (https://github.com/janm399/akka-patterns) ), which are incredible valuable. Mathias almost always answer all the questions. I have been reading his answers for several months. They are very helpful. many thanks

Chester
