Micronaut

Description: Micronaut is a modern, full-stack framework for the JVM (supporting Java, Kotlin, and Groovy) designed specifically for building modular microservices and serverless applications. Its key differentiator is that it performs dependency injection, configuration, and aspect-oriented programming at compile time (Ahead-of-Time compilation) rather than at runtime using reflection. This results in dramatically faster startup times, a much lower memory footprint, and makes it an ideal choice for serverless functions and containerized microservices.
