ZIO Web supports the features you need to be productive:

  • Endpoints. Define reliable and scalable endpoints concisely, type-safely, and composably.
  • Protocol-Agnostic. Deploy endpoints to any supported protocol, including HTTP and gRPC.
  • Stream-friendly. Handle requests and responses that are too big to fit in memory at once.
    • WebSockets
  • Introspection-friendly
    • Documentation. Generate documentation that is automatically in-sync with the endpoints.
    • Client. Interact with an endpoint type-safely from Scala without writing any code.
  • Middleware-friendly. Middleware is type-safe and compositional and can include built-in middleware or third-party middleware, or combinations.
    • Metrics/Monitoring. Built-in integration with ZIO ZMX.
    • Rate-limiting. Customizable rate-limiting with DDOS protection.
    • Logging. Request/response logging in Common Log format.
