Ask HN: Is Java spring boot rally the defacto standard now?

Hello, I'm not really up to date into microservices.

I for one would use smaller and more scalable solutions? But it seems that this framework won the race, but why?

2) The J2EE BigCo (now JEE) vs Spring Framework legacy (Pivotal).

In Java world, Spring has really gotten entrenched and with good reasons. Spring Boot and other spring auxiliaries solve a lot of boiler plate code issues. Spring also comes with batteries like Spring Batch, Data, security etc. So it's usually a good choice on the Java based applications stack.

I would recommend others like Vert.x, Play, Axon etc.

Yeah, but I wonder about the over head. Why do you want to use a framework with like 200mb over head for even the smallest thing?

That does not sound "micro" to me..
