#2Love them or hate them (I am in the latter category), but observe even Uber mentions some of their heavier backend stack for internal usage runs on Dropwizard.
"The highest-volume service in this area is Gurafu, which provides a set of utilities for working with road map data and improves efficiency and accuracy by providing more sophisticated routing options. Gurafu is fronted by µETA, which adds a business logic layer on top of raw ETAs (things like experiment group segmentation). Both Gurafu and µETA are web services built on the DropWizard framework."

#3Nice to see a 1.0 release. We've been using Dropwizard for various public and internal APIs for a couple of years and have been very happy with it. The components (jersey, jackson, coda hale metrics) are all very pleasant to work with, and generally have low-ceremony APIs that feel as productive as the ruby or python equivalents while providing the performance and operability of the JVM.
It's not the fastest or most scalable option on the JVM (that would probably be something netty based) and the API is an awkward fit for anything streaming or asynchronous, but it's the best thing I've found for its niche.

#5Funny that everybody rush for REST framework, while most of the time people
cramming REST in their applications need less "read, upload, replace, delete"
operation model and more "normal functions, except called remotely" provided
by RPC.
But RPC-over-HTTP (XML-RPC, JSON-RPC, or even Thrift) is a problem solved long ago, so it's not sexy enough, I think.

#6I've had an excellent experience with Dropwizard. It combines robust, simple-to-use libraries, has excellent documentation, is easy to poke into, and "just works". It's my go-to framework if I want to create REST apps in Java.
Congrats on the 1.0 release!

#7Dropwizard is great for REST APIs (... as the title says). However if you want to use traditional views (MVC, html templates, security, forms etc) then please check something else (I tried it and lost many hours -- in the end I still couldn't do even basic things).
For traditional web development, I recommend spring-boot which is almost as easy as dropwizard, it also doesn't need an application container and fully supports Spring MVC, Spring Security and all other spring related goodies.

#8Ah Dropwizard. Even though Java isn't my favorite, it really wasn't that bad to work with when making a tic-tac-toe game for a coding assignment for a job interview.

What templating language did you use with Spring MVC?

thymeleaf (http://www.thymeleaf.org/) - it is supported directly by spring boot (spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf dependecy). Also, using thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4 you can integrate spring security tags with thymeleaf so that you can conditionally render things depending on the current user/authority into your templates!
