title: Simple Microservice framework
body: <p>For a while I was looking for a fast and simple solution for a microservice framework. I am quite new to all Lightbend products &amp; scala but since its looks very interesting I decided to give it a try. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Few Questions:</strong></p>
  
  <p>1)  I don’t understand why there is a need for the new framework Lagom ? </p>
  
  <p>If play can already give me the same solution (to serve as microservice) then why there is a need for another framework ? </p>
  
  <p>2)  With play I manage to create an “Hello World” project very fast and also the deployment was very easy and straight forward(via dist). </p>
  
  <p>I like the fact that I can merge all in one ZIP and run it via script . In Lagom from what I understand I need to use ConductR. </p>
  
  <p>For my current needs its look like a big overhead. Is there a simple why to deploy it something like in play ?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all</p>
