I’m not sure I understood your question, but Play uses Akka HTTP API to create a server backend. You can see the code here:

github.com

playframework/playframework/blob/master/transport/server/play-akka-http-server/src/main/scala/play/core/server/AkkaHttpServer.scala

package play.core.server

import java.net.InetSocketAddress
import java.security.Provider
import java.security.SecureRandom

import akka.Done
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.CoordinatedShutdown
import akka.annotation.ApiMayChange
import akka.http.play.WebSocketHandler
import akka.http.scaladsl.model.headers.Expect
import akka.http.scaladsl.model.ws.UpgradeToWebSocket
import akka.http.scaladsl.model.headers
import akka.http.scaladsl.model._
import akka.http.scaladsl.settings.ParserSettings

Play is extensible with regarding which server backend it will use, and Akka HTTP is the default one, but we also have a Netty implementation and you can create your own.

Best.
