Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams
This project reminds me of java spark [1]. I was always a cheerleader of the project. We even used it in production, loved the non-annotation centric approach.

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

Non Spring users what are you using ??
