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.

Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin
https://vertx.io/
It's actively maintained with full time developers, performant, supports Kotlin out of the box, and has more features?
-
Reactive database access on the JVM
Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted
-
Looking for a coroutine-based message broker implementation for inter-app communication.
Have you looked at Vert.x?
-
What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?
Explicitly so:
-
Anything close beam/otp for other languages?
I really like Eclipse Vert.x... As both an Erlang dev and Java dev, it's a great synergy and soon to have support for Virtual Threads similar to BEAM.
-
Go doesn’t do any magical stuff and I love that
There are many lean, popular, non-magical libraries in Java land. (https://quarkus.io/, https://vertx.io/, etc). Spring is a monster 😱. Its like comparing Kubernetes (written in Go) with some lean framework in another lang.
- PFA vs SRL
-
Favorite hidden gem library?
Eclipse Vert.x - Add amazing Async to any Java stack
-
Codeberg a GitHub Alternative from Europe
Vert.X example: https://github.com/eclipse-vertx/vert.x/blob/master/src/main/java/examples/EventBusExamples.java#L106 (couldn't even find docs)
-
Quarkus fundamentals
In fact, it builds on top of proven standards such as Eclipse MicroProfile or frameworks such as Vert.x or JAX‑RS.

Show HN: Zero-dependency Java framework out of beta
The size statistics page is super cool: https://github.com/byronka/minum/blob/master/docs/size_compa...
Reasoning this way about software and dependencies more often seems like a good thing, just so we're aware of what we're actually getting into, especially with projects that use npm.
I actually hadn't heard of Javalin before, which also seems nice: https://javalin.io/
Aside from that, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard - which is way simpler than Spring Boot but at the same time uses a bunch of idiomatic packages (like Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Logback and so on): https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/
I do wonder whether Minum would ever end up on the TechEmpower benchmarks and how it'd stack up against the other libraries/frameworks there, those benchmarks are pretty interesting.

Helidon Níma is the first Java microservices framework based on virtual threads
Counter-example: https://javalin.io/ uses Servlets, and seems to be doing quite fine without annotations.
-
Full Time
Yes, and it was not that well designed to be honest... the successor is quite a lot nicer and it's called Javalin[1].
Same philosophy but just got things right where Spark, being the "first" (in the Java world, using the design inherited by Sinatra[2]) had a few design issues.
- Show HN: Java REST without annotations, DI nor reactive streams
-
Is it just me, or does the Spring Framework lead to hard-to-maintain code and confusion with annotations?
I strongly advocate frameworks like https://javalin.io/ and Jooq (https://www.jooq.org/) if you are going to start a new project in Java.
What are some alternatives?
