alt Hacker NewsI’ve Been stuck with Spring for many years too and I think it’s just awful choice for micro services that need to scale, simply due to startup time.
Not to defend Nodejs ecosystem - your points are 100% valid.
With that in mind, I think Go is much better option.
Spring may be a bad choice for microservices (context required, because it is not true in general), but it is strange to compare it (DI framework/mvc/orm abstraction etc) with Go (programming language). Java exists in many flavors, you do not have to use Spring to build a performant microservice.
