10/06/2023, 5:22 PMWould it make sense for http4k to manage that? I would expect jetty or any other application server to be opinionated about how to handle resources. Maybe the number of threads depend on the number of active websockets or can be pooled with HTTP or something like that?

10/06/2023, 5:25 PMIt would be very tricky to make that work unless you could use the same thread resources to construct both the server layer and the handler. The design of http4k (and SaaF in general) means the runtime is an external (ie unknown) comcern to the handler. We'd lose any type of layering or composition if we did it.
