One thing we should prioritize is making Akka Management, Bootstrap and Discovery APIs stable. This is important for downstream projects and should happen for the Lagom 1.5 release.

A few things we need to investigate before freezing it.

• only prerequisite in management / bootstrap is health checks, either exposing them as methods, routes or making it pluggable
• for discovery we should put a little thought into how we’d expand the API to add things like weighting, TTL etc
• go through the public API and see if it can be evolved easily (no case classes, etc)
