About

At the end of 2021 Lightbend Inc., the company that sponsored and lead the development of the Play Framework for almost a decade, handed over the project to the community. Since then the Play Framework uses Open Collective to gather money to pay contributors and to cover other project expenses in the most transparent way possible.

Why sponsor Play?


Your donation will help the project stay alive and grow successfully. Without sponsorship, it would never have been possible to release Play 3.0.0 and Play 2.9.0, which are the first major Play Framework releases in almost four years and the first major releases entirely driven by the community.

For more details on sponsoring Play please visit https://www.playframework.com/sponsors
