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.

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).

Code in jar dependency is packed as java code and can not be used as normal Scala dependency
Take a look at https://github.com/playframework/play-ws build.sbt. it is a scala lib built with sbt-assembly to shade dependencies and avoid binary incompatibility. That is the only reason to build a lib with sbt-assembly.

Scala or Go: Who Wore It Better?
In this example, the code uses Play WS Standalone as a REST client to fetch JSON containing a UUID. Play WS has an asynchronous, non-blocking API based on Future, so you need to provide an ExecutionContext via Akka. That's all the boilerplate at the beginning of this example. Sometimes it will be done for you as when you use Play WS in the context of Play Framework. Nonetheless, you should be aware it has to happen somewhere.
What are some alternatives?
