The previous ones are awesome... But if you want to check a not mainstream one, you can try http://hexagonkt.com (disclaimer: I'm the author)

A really new, and lightweight one to checkout is https://quarkus.io. GraalVM and VERY fast. Java/Kotlin. Depends on your use case more than anything else as they all have pros/cons

DropWizard is mentioned as a option however it isn't as widely used as Ktor, Spring, and Vert.x on the Kotlin side.
