ASP.NET Core is a lean and composable framework for building web and cloud applications. ASP.NET Core is fully open source and available on GitHub. ASP.NET Core is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

JavaEE as well, believe it or not. Micro profile is the currently cool thing now (since Java One last year) it seems. Full disclosure: primarily a Java dev but have worked in PHP, and to a lesser degree python as well. Oh, and I now work full time on .Net.

Which framework do you use to make microservices in Java?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

We use Octopus Deploy at work to deploy .NET. There's a bit of a learning curve, and it has a few quirks and annoyances, and you might need to write some Powershell scripts to fill in a few gaps (which it can run), but once you've got it in place, it's super simple to deploy everything. Every single deploy used to be a big hullabaloo at our company, now it's super smooth thanks to Octopus. If you're talking about Ant…

We tried using Octopus (3 years ago) as part of our CI/CD pipeline and ran into a big problem with it choking on file sizes and handling all the bundled dependencies we threw at it. Eventually we just scripted MSBuild and archived them ourselves for retrieval when we needed them.

We don't have anything too huge we give it. I think our largest package is like 100MB. But we do have about 40 active projects in its system. Also, I attended something by a guy who worked for Accenture, who talked about using it with thousands of active projects and some of the technical issues they had to overcome (and work directly with Octopus team to help resolve, at some points) with such a massive amount of projects.

It was this guy that gave the talk, he has a blog with lots of information about his experience with Octopus. A few of the quirks I encountered when getting everything set up with our company were resolved by reading his blog: http://ianpaullin.com/category/octopus-deploy/

Well you are letting Microsoft rule your life. Could go really good or could go really bad. With Django you have an actual community that drives the project.

dotnet core has a community driving the project. As for giving up being a developer, why? It's simple, straight forward and has never been frustrating to me.

Its not really though. Microsoft throws it away in 2018.. do you think it will continue? I am not confident, microsoft has no history of OS, nor how they handle killing off undesired projects.

I'd just use JavaEE, web profile or possibly even Micro profile although that isn't released yet.

I'm saying this as a Node.js user myself so I'm not putting down Node but... Node.js is not a "Framework" Sails.js is a framework. You could argue that Express is. But Node itself if not.

2nd this... Node.js for the 1 billionth time is not a "Framework". It is a JavaScript runtime. Sails.js, Meteor.js, and etc... are frameworks that use/run on Node.js.

The hipster stack is an interesting one. Elixir + Phoenix framework, GraphQL, React. Honestly, though, I'm doing everything with GraphQL now. It is a huge benefit for all aspects of application stack design now.

there is an idea for a joke-site slash kafkaesque sadomasochistic torture challenge generator. Hipster Stack Generator. >Phoenix Absinthe Vue.js TypeScript Apollo Ethereum

No love for Django? Django/Postgres

I have gone through work using Codeigniter, Laravel, Spring then Django. Django was very easy to learn coming from Laravel and has lot les boilerplate than Spring. Never going back! Maybe it is just hype but I am trying out Elixir. I am interested in the functional programming too so its a win -win for me.
