Is it possible to deploy HTTP handlers from different verticles in Vert.x

From a book "A gentle guide to asynchronous programming with Eclipse Vert.x for Java developers" I know how to deploy HTTP handler in Vert.x from a single verticle:

HttpServer server = vertx.createHttpServer();
Router router = Router.router(vertx);

router.get("/").handler(this::getRoot);
router.post("/").handler(this::postRoot);

server
  .requestHandler(router::accept)
  .listen(portNumber, ar -> { ... });

This is all great but later I need to define getRoot and postRoot methods in the same class (of course I can use a different class here) and "register" these functions into a router in a single, main "HTTP orchestration verticle". Those functions can use event bus and call other verticles, but the registration phase seems to be a bottleneck here: what if I need to handle dozens / hundreds / thousands of URLs? This apprioach won't scale.

Is there a way to split HTTP router configuration between multiple verticles in Vert.x so I can just implement my logic in separate classes without the need to register it somewhere else?

You can't split router config over different verticles.

If you have lots of handlers, use Sub-Routers
