Is there any example of a recent dropwizard application?
I'm trying to set up a simple RESTful API with dropwizard that does some basic CRUD with a postgresql database. I've managed to get some endpoints working with dummy responses following the documentation, but I am now quite stuck when it comes to implementing the database functionality. The page about JDBI3 doesn't really help because the example usage doesn't match with the example app in the repository, where the code looks quite different and with no recent commits. It seems to assume prior knowledge of all of these libraries (which I don't have).
- Dropwizard 2.1.0 has been released

On the Future of Akka and Lightbend
It’s a shame that the Play framework is being abandoned. v1 had a lot of great ideas, but v2 kind of jumped off the cliff into Scala lala-land, where it got lost in the weeds. It never really recovered.
If you’re looking for a straightforward Java framework similar to Play v1 check out Ninja:

For me at least, it hits a sweet spot of enabling fast productive development and maintainable code.
