Eclipse Vert.x
Toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM.
Eclipse Vert.x is a toolkit for building reactive applications on the JVM. The project describes itself as a toolkit, not a framework. Applications are written in Java and add Vert.x with Maven or Gradle, and the Vert.x Web module adds the web layer: server-side template rendering with several template engines, and user, role and permission authorization. Separate client modules cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, DB2, MongoDB and Redis.
Worth knowing
The Get started guide states a JDK minimum, while the core manual says some features, such as virtual threads, need a newer Java release.
