07/05/2018, 7:30 PMdoesn’t matter too much what it is; just stay away from anything that needs an app server (tomcat, websphere, etc) and you’ll be fine.

07/06/2018, 1:16 PMpretty much anything will be fine, then. If this is your first time writing an http service on the jvm, just pick one and go with it and it won’t kill your project even if you picked slightly wrong. ktor, spring boot, dropwizard, spark, javalin i’m sure will all be survivable (and relatively straightforward to swap as long as you don’t bake your framework choice deep into your business logic, which you should never do anyway).

07/09/2018, 4:32 AMIt depends, if you have API gateway and want to go full microservices I would recommend Java Spark( not Apache Spark ) or Ktor. If you plan to use something like authentication, security etc I would recommend SpringBoot

07/16/2018, 7:32 AMWe've built a mobile app API using Ratpack & Kotlin and we're pretty pleased - there was a spreadsheet floating around comparing various web libraries & frameworks and how they work under Kotlin
