As I go deeper into the Java ecosystem for building web applications, it gets more and more interesting. After the feature addition of a static file serving handler, the server is now under 50 kilobytes in raw size, and 25kB as a jar. A far cry from the mega and giga bytes that any framework would build in.

It does not have “all” the features of those frameworks, but thats the premise. For most web applications, we do not need everything they have to offer.

These articles are shaping up really nice. I am very excited to see the shape it takes.

This is not a “planned” article series that is only being published at a regular frequency. You are seeing it as it happens. So, if you want to see something specific being explored, let me know.
