Ratpack vs Spring Framework: What are the differences?
Ratpack: A toolkit for web applications on the JVM. It is a set of Java libraries for building scalable HTTP applications It is a lean and powerful foundation. Its apps are lightweight, fast, composable with other tools and libraries, easy to test and enjoyable to develop.; Spring Framework: An application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. It provides a comprehensive programming and configuration model for modern Java-based enterprise applications - on any kind of deployment platform The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform..
Ratpack and Spring Framework can be categorized as "Frameworks (Full Stack)" tools.
Some of the features offered by Ratpack are:
- Lean & powerful HTTP apps
- toolkit for creating high performance web applications
On the other hand, Spring Framework provides the following key features:
- Lightweight
- Dependency Injection
- Transaction Management
Ratpack and Spring Framework are both open source tools. It seems that Spring Framework with 31.2K GitHub stars and 20.1K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Ratpack with 1.81K GitHub stars and 366 GitHub forks.

Hi there, I'm deciding the technology to use in my project.
I need to build software that has:
- Login
- Register
- Main View (access to a user account, News, General Info, Business hours, software, and parts section).
- Account Preferences.
- Web Shop for Parts (Support, Download Sections, Ticket System).
The most critical functionality is a WebSocket that connects between a car that sends real-time data through serial communication, and a server performs diagnosis on the car and sends the results back to the user.
You can use NestJs with microservice architecture.where you can also use socket.io for web socket. you can use MongoDB (For real-time data) & MySQL for customer management.if you don't want to implement websocket.you can use firebase.it gives realtime database & firestore.which can handle millions of connections and scale it up.
I would also go with NestJS. I would say Java is unnecessarily complicated and limited. And Python is not typed. TypeScript is powerful and typed and goes well with NestJS, especially using RxJS.
Django does not enforce backend-frontend separation, which probably was a good thing back in the days, but not anymore. But on the other hand enforces the project structure to you, which I don't like.
Just a simple Node.JS app with templating engine for UI can be sufficient for what you want to achieve.
Spring boot with Spring Security[JWT], Websocket, Thymeleaf or Mustache, and styling with Bootstrap.
