  • ksp

    Kotlin Symbol Processing API

  • Jetty

    Eclipse Jetty® - Web Container & Clients - supports HTTP/2, HTTP/1.1, HTTP/1.0, websocket, servlets, and more

    Java developers are spoiled for choice.

    There's everything, from the simplest possible https://sparkjava.com/, to the a little bit nicer https://javalin.io/ (which has a Kotlin wrapper), to the high performance and full framework https://vertx.io/ (which always had great multi-lingual support within the JVM), to the newer and GraalVM-friendly https://micronaut.io/ and https://quarkus.io/ ... for the Enterprise-only crowd, you still have the JEE successor, https://jakarta.ee/ and Oracle's own https://helidon.io/#/ (which likes to position itself as microservice focused, like Micronaut and Quarkus). Not to mention lower level libraries you can use, like https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/ and https://netty.io/.

    Ktor has a tough fight to become dominant even in the Kotlin world.

    Spring Boot is, still, definitely the most popular option, but it's still just one of very very many!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • jOOQ

    jOOQ is the best way to write SQL in Java

    Checkout jooq(1) for a SQL DSL in Java. I've used it with MySQL and love it. Trying to convince my employer for the paid version with RDS.

    Apache Groovy: A powerful multi-faceted programming language for the JVM platform

    You and the PC probably would be happy with Groovy, specially with them adding a SQL DSL now: https://github.com/apache/groovy/blob/master/subprojects/gro...

    Groovy DSLs are much better than Kotlin's.
