If you are interested in developing microservices in Java and are wondering which framework to use, then the following article may be relevant for you. I recently evaluated Pivotal Software's Spring Framework by using it to code a heterogeneous datasource microservice. A little over two years ago, I coded the same microservice in Dropwizard which is Spring Boot's closest competitor. I have a test lab where I put each microservice under load then capture and analyze the performance results. The article below is where I have documented my findings.
All of this is open source. Here is where you can find the code.
