Best library for messenger backend (JVM)
Armeria (https://armeria.dev/) is a very underrated framework and does not get enough love, it works fabulously with Kotlin (coroutines support also built-in) and integrates nicely with GRPC, Thrift, etc. The maintainers are very responsive and nice and always helping people out.

Google hired union-busting consultants to convince employees “unions suck”
Honestly yes? Higher pay, less overtime.
Enjoy https://github.com/line/armeria from a unionized tech company of South Korea!

Java Equivalent of Express.js for REST
If you want something really small that simply let's you expose REST APIs using plain Java, without the IoC containers, you might want to check out Javalin, Ratpack or Armeria

A Kotlin programmer's approach to microservices?
Check out Armeria, it's a newer framework from the creator of Netty for micro services and comes with many builtin functionalities for service discovery, logging and fault tolerance. It's getting a lot of adoption from companies like Slack, Doordash, Afterpay and Databricks too. It kind of reminds me of Finagle from the Scala ecosystem in that it supports many different protocols (gRPC, thrift and HTTP).

Javalin – a simple web framework for Java and Kotlin
One of the good things about it is that using asynchrony is optional. If you don't have to call out anywhere to build the response, processing can all stay in the handler's calling thread. If you do, you can return a future and have the library handle the async for you.
One downside is that it is based on Jetty which isn't considered the most performant backend. A lib with a similar API but based on Netty is Jooby [1] which scores well in the Techempower benchmarks.

Is the Spring framework too heavy and over-designed?
Jooby and Helidon SE are among the best.

RIFE2 web framework under development
The code snippet gave me a vibe like it was jooby Looks cool, I suggest maybe start incorporating Project Loom virtual threads in the future.
- Java modern frameworks choice
- Latest version of Microhttp, an event-driven, zero-dependency, pure-Java web server with 500 LOC, capable of 1,000,000+ requests per second on commodity EC2 hardware.

The Flask Mega-Tutorial
Speaking of backend development, recently I gave Jooby[1] a try after discovering it was one of the world's top performer in Tech Empower's web framework benchmark[2].
Surprisingly enough, it's terribly easy to put together a REST API with Jooby. I wonder why it's adoption rate is so low.

What is the current state of the art for efficiently handling blocking requests in Java/Spring?
Do you need to use Spring btw? If you want to broaden the tool selection I've had great success with i.e Jooby (https://jooby.io/) together with Kotlin coroutines. Another alternative is the KTOR framework.

Java Equivalent of Express.js for REST
Jooby I think is the best bet. https://jooby.io/ watch out for jooby dot org I think someone sniped the domain.

Fully Static Java Webserver - Is this a bad idea?
Spring Boot or JAXRS. I personally use Jooby a lot which is similar in style to spark but has annotation support and isn't a singleton.
What are some alternatives?
