Dropwizard Alternatives

Dropwizard is described as 'Straddles the line between being a library and a framework. Its goal is to provide performant, reliable implementations of everything a production-ready web application needs. Because this functionality is extracted into a reusable library, your application remains' and is an app in the development category. There are nine alternatives to Dropwizard for Mac, Windows, Linux, Self-Hosted and Web-based. The best Dropwizard alternative is Ktor, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Dropwizard are Jmix, Spring, OpenXava and GWT (Google Web Toolkit).
