New scalable, fault-tolerant, and efficient open-source MQTT broker
We use Netty (https://netty.io/) as the source of the MQTT communication, and we build the MQTT features the MQTT broker should support ourselves on top of that.

Modern Async Primitives on iOS, Android, and the Web
In this space, we also have the somewhat related term blocking. Java's NIO library is one well-known non-blocking tool used for managing multiple tasks on a single Java thread. When listening to sockets, most of the time a thread is just blocked, doing nothing until it receives some data. So, it's efficient to use a single thread for monitoring many sockets, to increase the likelihood of the thread having some actual work to do. The Selector API does this but is notoriously challenging to program well. Instead, developers use frameworks like Netty which abstract some of NIO's complexity and layer on some best practices.

Scaling to ~15K requests per second with Java – Part 1
Apologies replying to myself, but Netty, which underpins many of the popular Java backend frameworks, see backward compatibility as more important than supporting green threads.

It'll be interesting to see who (if anyone) picks up Netty's mantle in the Project Loom world.

[ANN] Retty v0.6.0 - An asynchronous Rust networking framework that makes it easy to build protocols, application clients/servers.
It's like Netty or Wangle, but in Rust.

Unity MVVM
DotNetty is a port of Netty, asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers & clients.

Possibly stupid question, is java the right language for low latency and high throughput web servers?
As you are in i/o tasks, you can look at spring webflux / microprofile / quarkus. If you mature enough netty (https://netty.io/) based solution will be more effecient.

[ANN] Retty v0.3.0 - An asynchronous Rust networking framework that makes it easy to build protocols, application clients/servers.
It's like Netty or Wangle, but in Rust.

Donkey version 0.5.2 is out!!
Reitit is a routing library - its not a complete stack for web. In this benchmark for example, it uses undertow as its underlying http server. Reitit does routing very good and Donkey supports it, but Donkey offers a 'one stop shop' for web server/client, and a very performant one.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Netty and Undertow you can also consider the following projects:
OkHttp - Square’s meticulous HTTP client for the JVM, Android, and GraalVM.
gRPC - The Java gRPC implementation. HTTP/2 based RPC
Grizzly
KryoNet - TCP/UDP client/server library for Java, based on Kryo
MINA - Mirror of Apache MINA
Async Http Client - Asynchronous Http and WebSocket Client library for Java
Dubbo - The java implementation of Apache Dubbo. An RPC and microservice framework.
Apache Tomcat - Apache Tomcat
Finagle - A fault tolerant, protocol-agnostic RPC system
