vert.x mentions (26)

• Spark – A web micro framework for Java and Kotlin

  Hibernate Reactive integrates with Vert.x, but an extension allows to bridge to Project Reactor if wanted. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• What's the state of server-side frameworks with Kotlin support today for small teams?

  One of the most common web frameworks used is Spring Boot - here is their quickstart: https://spring.io/quickstart Newer alternatives are: https://micronaut.io/ and https://quarkus.io/ If you want to have something really simple look at Javalin: https://javalin.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
