Pekko equivalent?

[pjfanning]

Would it be possible to consider producing a Pekko equivalent of this lib?

Pekko HTTP is not yet released but snapshot jars can be found at https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/pekko/

Pekko Connectors is our open source fork of Alpakka and Alpakka contains a connector for aws-spi-akka-http and our plan is to produce Pekko versions of core Alpakka connectors.

Hi @pjfanning, yes sure I am open to it. What would need to be done for this?

[pjfanning]

I currently have apache/pekko-connectors#34 (comment) and have a pekko based snapshot ready. If you want, you can take my repo and use it. I will abandon mine if you do so.

Thanks for your link. Are there discussions or solutions how a library could look like to support both Akka and Pekko? I haven't really followed the discussions what was changed in pekko and what is needed for a library to be compliant also license wise. Is there something what I can read?

[pjfanning]

I don't think one lib can support both Akka and Pekko. My fork has all the necessary changes to work with Pekko. I created the fork to unblock some work on pekko-connectors - the equivalent of Alpakka.

I used the approach described here in small internal projects

Hi @pjfanning, sorry for the very slow communication and action on this. If you still want, I can take over.

What would be the best thing todo? I fork your repo and change the maven groupId and publish the current state to maven central?

[pjfanning]

@matsluni I'm happy for you to take over. You can take my code from https://github.com/pjfanning/aws-spi-pekko-http if it helps. I changed the package names there but you can obviously change them to something that suits you.

When you do a release, I can look at ramping down my project. My project is used in Pekko Connectors and it may not be a good idea for us to switch to your lib until we start setting up the 1.1.0 release. That 1.1.0 release may happen within a month or 2 anyway.

Hi @matsluni
What are the latest updates for this issue? what are the maven coordinates of a library to be used a replacement for aws-spi-akka-http?

Hi @pjfanning
can https://github.com/pjfanning/aws-spi-pekko-http be used or is it just temporary solution and will be eventually dropped, ie not maintained?

thanks!

[pjfanning]

@seveneves my fork is used in Apache Pekko Connectors - it isn't some sort of throwaway project. Yes, https://github.com/pjfanning/aws-spi-pekko-http could possibly be dropped in the future but only if there is a viable alternative lib for users to switch to.
