07/30/2018, 1:46 AMIf you don't all of springs bells and whistles, I'd go for Ktor. But to be fair, theres http4k, javalin, spark, vert.x each one has there advantages and disadvantages. Ktor is a Kotlin DSL and is based on Coroutines, you can switch the underlying server (Netty, Jetty...), and it has a bunch of pluggable Features, and a Webclient too. It's nice to work with, and isn't overbloated when you don't want it to be.

If you decide to try with Ktor, there is #ktor and ktor.io
