Leptus vs Akka HTTP: What are the differences?
Developers describe Leptus as "Erlang REST framework that runs on top of Cowboy". Leptus simplifies creating RESTful APIs in Erlang. On the other hand, Akka HTTP is detailed as "HTTP client and server built on Akka actors and streams". The Akka HTTP modules implement a full server- and client-side HTTP stack on top of akka-actor and akka-stream. It’s not a web-framework but rather a more general toolkit for providing and consuming HTTP-based services. While interaction with a browser is of course also in scope it is not the primary focus of Akka HTTP.
Leptus and Akka HTTP belong to "Microframeworks (Backend)" category of the tech stack.
