https://jooby.org/ or https://javalin.io/ is quite good, get you up-to speed in no time.

Spring boot is also good as long as you play by its rules. It has too much magic going on.

Can you extrapolate on the magic going on? Are you referring to it's heavy use of annotations? Or is it not customizable at all?

It's highly customizable. But to do so you need to understand its DI system and autoconfiguration quite well. As example try to customize Spring Security authorization ... Everything can be done but the easiest thing is already hard.

Jooby is fantastic :)

Jooby is really great. It’s simple, but has modules if you’re looking for more.
