Re:Scala vs. Node.js as a RESTful back end server (2015) by hhandoko on Sunday April 24, 2016 @04:55AM (#11559033)
What do you think of upgrading incrementally via each minor versions (e.g. 2.0 -> 2.1 -> 2.2, etc.)? It will be easier to reason (and debug) the changes between each version, and test compatibility on the dependent libraries.

PS. I have a Play 2.3 app already in production, 2.4 currently in development, and plan for a new app on 2.5. I'm upgrading from the oldest one first...

Upgrading minor versions is the way to go. It still seemed like a pain to upgrade since Play Framework has changed quite a bit in the 2.X branch -- more than you would think. I am not trying to trash Play Framework since when you get it up and running its simple the best. I'm a big fan of the JVM.
