Play Framework is developed by Lightbend Inc.; It is an open source web framework that allows Java and Scala lovers to use their favorite programming language to build their websites. It resembles other frameworks like Laravel, which allow to efficiently structure a project in a MVC format (Model, View, Controller) while also having access to many simplifications (for example, an automatic mapping between model objects and the database's tables) and a centralized configuration, easily accessible, and allowing a lot of customization of the entire technical solution of the website. All these simplifications allow a great gain in productivity and development pleasure with an already loved programming language !
