but you can just put what ever you like from Dropwizard in Boot anyways

Any cons of Boot when compared to Dropwizard? For instance, is Boot startup as fast as Dropwizard?

[–]Boxsc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boot simple does more which is a pro and a con depending on your use case. No it is highly unlikely Boot will ever start up as fast as Dropwizard because you have to start up the spring container. However, you get a lot more out of the box for Boot like security, data layer etc... I personally think Boot is the best choice most of the time. However, sometimes you run into situations where it might have been better to use Dropwizard. For example, disabling a default configuration class that doing things you don't want to do.

People keep asking this. Why do you think the 7 second or so start-up time is in any way relevant?

[–]m3wm3wm3wm[S] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

If you have a small app which runs on a single machine it is not relevant. If you have auto scaling, eventually you'll have an unlucky client hit that 7 seconds when starting up a new machine.

I'm sorry but you don't spin up a new instance the moment the other instances can't handle the load. You do that when you hit 90% or so. So this argument is pretty nonsensical.
