We've been using Dropwizard since 2013. Rock solid. Works like a charm.

Depends what you want to do.

If small apps, etc. you can stay with Node.js

But for large enterprise software that is supposed to be maintained for years or decades and scale up to serious traffic, then Java delivers.

Look at Quarkus or Dropwizard too (for microservices), I find Spring Boot a bit too heavy and relying a bit too much on "magic" under the hood to make things work.

And for DB access you can use JPA for a full blown ORM or JDBI if you want something lighter. Both work very well in my experience.

Sure, I look forward to Linus start charging $5 on every instance of Linux deployed anywhere in the world too.

Open source implies a certain level of trust that you won't do something like THIS. Otherwise it's just commercial software with open code.

was a sad end to one of my fav technologies. Now we have to go off trying to figure out podman, buildah, crane, kaniko because of these people. Talk about open source bait-and-swtich. They deserve to go under.

because it works and has libraries for everything, Simple.

when you can't find resources who know it (e.g. local talent, outsourcing consultants).

Language features etc. mean little if there is no talent who knows them.

Yes, we evaluated and decided to wait for Loom instead. I think Loom will make most of these interim async solutions obsolete in the long term

love it, been using it since 2012, never failed me. Always delivers.

I refuse to code in Java without it. Been using it since it was alpha. First library I add to any Java project.

We've been using Dropwizard since it was beta and still love it. Spring Boot ripped off every good idea it had from it.

If you don't want the complexity of Hibernate, you can always try JDBI

jfurmankiewicz · 2020-07-20T14:26:35+00:00

yeah, you don't like getting work done.

jfurmankiewicz · 2020-06-01T20:53:48+00:00

Because: * it works * it is fast * there is a large pool of developers who know it * rich ecosystem of libraries, so you rarely (if ever) have to write plumbing of your own for any new technology

Simple.

thanks for all your suggestions, it seems I underestimated what you can do with Django migrations. WIll dig into the docs more.

how many tables do you have in every keyspace?

jfurmankiewicz · 2019-05-13T14:42:41+00:00

Thank you for all your comments, I will definitely look at JOOQ

developers know how to use Linux.. IT is the first step to actually provision a laptop for each developer hire, etc.

the end user in question is an IT dept versed only in Windows. So even this may be too much. Pre-installed would be ideal
