Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tech-stack for web application using Kotlin?
BTW, I've talked on and off with the developer of another project, which is still very new: https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/decouple/-/tree/main

Javalin โ a simple web framework for Java and Kotlin
Micronaut has a share of the space too.

However, youโre right that Spring Boot has the lions share of the Java ecosystem.

Spark โ A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
I've used vert.x in a big project once. I don't ever want to do that again. Performance is pretty good, but the developer experience is beyond clunky.
My current favourite Java server framework is Micronaut.
Great performance and easy to develop for!

Java consumes 38x less energy than Python
I wonder how much you'd save with Micronaut: https://micronaut.io/
> Micronaut is a software framework for the Java virtual machine platform. It is designed to avoid reflection, thus reducing memory consumption and improving start times. Features which would typically be implemented at run-time are instead pre-computed at compile time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micronaut_(framework)
I don't think you'd go down to 9, but something like 20-30 could be doable.

mlfx FXML compiler
I'd like to introduce my project. It is called mlfx. It can compile FXML ahead of time. It is basically an annotation processor, which internally uses Micronaut framework's AST abstraction and compiles fxml files directly to JVM bytecode. This decreases UI load time and also helps with native-image reflection configs. It also has some compliance tests that load compiled code and check resulting object graph against one loaded by javafx-xml. It also has some drawbacks now, but, please, read README. Now I'm successfully using it in two production projects.

Tech-stack for web application using Kotlin?
For the server Quarkus and Micronaut might be interesting besides Spring Boot. Quarkus is more popular and backed by RedHat (so probably here to stay).

Would love some guidance in how to get started with building web projects with Java.
Spring boot is still The King. Although I've not done more than hello world with Micronaut, it might have easier learning curve than Spring (and concepts are similar to Spring so you can carry over later to learn Spring). It could also be a useful skill in world of microservices these days.
What are some alternatives?
Quarkus - Quarkus: Supersonic Subatomic Java.
spring-native - Spring Native is now superseded by Spring Boot 3 official native support
Vert.x - Vert.x is a tool-kit for building reactive applications on the JVM
Flowable (V6) - A compact and highly efficient workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) platform for developers, system admins and business users.
Nacos - an easy-to-use dynamic service discovery, configuration and service management platform for building cloud native applications.
JaCoCo - :microscope: Java Code Coverage Library
Sentinel - A powerful flow control component enabling reliability, resilience and monitoring for microservices. (้ขๅไบๅ็ๅพฎๆๅก็้ซๅฏ็จๆตๆง้ฒๆค็ปไปถ)
