Yes, you're completely right about this, it's not always straight forward for beginners on where to start with these kinds of things.
GraphQL is indeed the next best thing right now and with good reasons, even Github has switched their latest API to it. Bandwidth is very costly so it's always a good idea to save those bytes :p

There are a couple of good new frameworks lately and Micronaut is one of them. I even feel that it feels somewhat simpler for beginners? Maybe it's just me. Testing also seems somewhat more natural to me.

I'm still sticking to Spring though at the moment, I feel it's somewhat more complete at this point in time for my needs.

Anywho, thanks for the article, I look forward to the next one.
