/cc @radcortez (config)

Now, I know that @radcortez already migrated this extension #35246 and then reverted it #35756, but since then, I have seen so many migrations, lately in core module #42114 that I don't understand why is this extension so special. We should have at least plan or tracker and this is why I am opening this issue.

This is definitely not forgotten; I have a local branch with that work. We had to revert it at the time due to performance issues, but those problems were already fixed, so it should be safe to move.

What is holding this for now is that many extensions use the Vert.x http configuration directly to retrieve the port and a few other things so that it will affect many extensions. Extensions should not be using this, and we were discussing better alternatives for it:

• Use Address and Services registration to connect to Services #43547
• Assign random ports in Config #43220
• Public API for hostname and port #39209

So ideally, we wanted to introduce a better API to retrieve the port, instead of relying on the configuration, so extensions would only need to move once and not twice (from Root -> to new API, instead of from Root -> Mapping -> new API).

But I guess this is taking too long, so we might want to go the not-so-optimal route.

I have subscribed myself to all three PRs so that I get notified. Thanks for the links. I'll leave this issue opened so that there is a tracker for this migration (so that I get notified as well). Thank you

To be fair, I have loads of other issues I can work on, we are in no hurry, so please migrate at your own pace.
