## Notes

Finatra is a Scala framework for building HTTP and Thrift servers. It is built on TwitterServer and uses Finagle, and it runs on the JVM. A project adds the finatra-http-server or finatra-thrift module as an sbt or Maven dependency; per the server guide, the HTTP server is started on port 8888.

The [user guide](https://twitter.github.io/finatra/user-guide/index.html) documents Mustache support for templates.
