Detailed Comparison
Grails is a framework used to build web applications with the Groovy programming language. The core framework is very extensible and there are numerous plugins available that provide easy integration of add-on features. | It is an opinionated, full-stack, serverless web application framework that will allow you to build and deploy JAMstack applications with ease. Imagine a React frontend, statically delivered by CDN, that talks via GraphQL to your backend running on AWS Lambdas around the world, all deployable with just a git push—that's Redwood. |
FLAT LEARNING CURVE; ON TOP OF SPRING BOOT; SMOOTH JAVA INTEGRATION; REST APIS, REACT, ANGULAR | Opinionated defaults for formatting, file organization, webpack, Babel, and more;
Simple but powerful routing (all routes defined in one file) with dynamic (typed) parameters, constraints, and named route functions (to generate correct URLs);
Automatic page-based code-splitting;
Boilerplate-less GraphQL API construction;
Cells: a declarative way to fetch data from the backend API;
Generators for pages, layouts, cells, SDL, services, etc;
Scaffold generator for CRUD operations around a specific DB table;
Forms with easy client- and/or server-side validation and error handling;
Hot module replacement (HMR) for faster development;
Database migrations (via Prisma 2);
First class JAMstack-style deployment to Netlify |

Spring Boot
Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
