Case:

In Januari 2015 our team started developing an IoT application using the libraries Spray and Akka.
On year later, because of changed requirements we have to make some major changes to the application. We use this opportunity to also change the application because of changed insights and having learned to use these libraries.

In particular, we want to replace Spray with another HTTP framework. After looking at several alternatives, we choose Finatra, a Twitter framework based on Finagle and TwitterServer.

Even though we selected a new http framework, we would like to reuse as much code of the original Akka application as possible.

Question
