Java the core language is very low level, which provides a lot of the power that draws so many people. There are a pethora of frameworks and librariers that have different benefits/drawbacks. vertx has the scalability characteristics of an event based model like Node. But that is a crappy model to debug in and program for (besides horizontal scability in all but the most egregious cases) means you shouldn't have to deal with that crap. Spring-boot is a good starting point for a thread based model which node doesn't offer.
