Spring Framework

Your application startup time and memory consumption aren’t bound to the size of your codebase, resulting in a monumental leap in startup time, blazing fast throughput, and a minimal memory footprint. When building applications with reflection-based IoC frameworks, the framework loads and caches reflection data for every bean in the application context. Built-in cloud support including discovery services, distributed tracing, and cloud runtimes. Quick configuration of your favorite data-access layer and the APIs to write your own. Realize benefits quickly by using familiar annotations in the way you are used to. Easily spin up servers and clients in your unit tests and run them instantaneously. Provides a simple, compile-time, aspect-oriented programming API that does not use reflection.

Dropwizard is a Java framework for developing ops-friendly, high-performance, RESTful web services. Dropwizard pulls together stable, mature libraries from the Java ecosystem into a simple, lightweight package that lets you focus on getting things done. Dropwizard has out-of-the-box support for sophisticated configuration, application metrics, logging, operational tools, and much more, allowing you and your team to ship a production-quality web service in the shortest time possible. Dropwizard 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 lean and focused, reducing both time-to-market and maintenance burdens. Because you can’t be a web application without HTTP, Dropwizard uses the Jetty HTTP library to embed an incredibly tuned HTTP server directly into your project.
