Besides being a kitchen sink, it's also very slow. We can argue about speed
of Spring layer in an app having database and network stacks, but comparing
just that one layer with non-Spring code may result in 10x difference in
throughput (not 10%, but 10x - order of magnitude).

If anyone is interested in details, here is sample test case I put to demo
this (it was a bet :) ):

"Whale" is the way we are building things past few years, but Shark may be
interesting if you are considering microservices. Notice that Whale is
feature-comparable to Megalodon (Spring), yet 3-4 times faster (and provides
interchangeable libs, as you pointed out).

Relevant fact: prior to that test I had zero experience with Rapidoid and
DSL-JSON - I found them simply by googling "fast java [ (rest server) (JSON)
]". Also, I had verly limited (and outdated) experiece with Spring. Yet,
both are implemented in only few lines of code, but they differ an order of
magnitude in speed.
