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.

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.

Javalin – a simple web framework for Java and Kotlin
One of the good things about it is that using asynchrony is optional. If you don't have to call out anywhere to build the response, processing can all stay in the handler's calling thread. If you do, you can return a future and have the library handle the async for you.
One downside is that it is based on Jetty which isn't considered the most performant backend. A lib with a similar API but based on Netty is Jooby [1] which scores well in the Techempower benchmarks.

Is the Spring framework too heavy and over-designed?
Jooby and Helidon SE are among the best.

RIFE2 web framework under development
The code snippet gave me a vibe like it was jooby Looks cool, I suggest maybe start incorporating Project Loom virtual threads in the future.
- Java modern frameworks choice
- Latest version of Microhttp, an event-driven, zero-dependency, pure-Java web server with 500 LOC, capable of 1,000,000+ requests per second on commodity EC2 hardware.

The Flask Mega-Tutorial
Speaking of backend development, recently I gave Jooby[1] a try after discovering it was one of the world's top performer in Tech Empower's web framework benchmark[2].
Surprisingly enough, it's terribly easy to put together a REST API with Jooby. I wonder why it's adoption rate is so low.

What is the current state of the art for efficiently handling blocking requests in Java/Spring?
Do you need to use Spring btw? If you want to broaden the tool selection I've had great success with i.e Jooby (https://jooby.io/) together with Kotlin coroutines. Another alternative is the KTOR framework.
-
Java Equivalent of Express.js for REST
Jooby I think is the best bet. https://jooby.io/ watch out for jooby dot org I think someone sniped the domain.
-
Fully Static Java Webserver - Is this a bad idea?
Spring Boot or JAXRS. I personally use Jooby a lot which is similar in style to spark but has annotation support and isn't a singleton.
What are some alternatives?
