Why use either? Spring sucks.

Spring boot is pretty good and scales well. The old spring is a bit cumbersome but for that period of time it was still one of the best options
DW is lightweight. It’s just Jetty, Jersey and some other libraries, packaged for convenience. However, in my experience, it isn’t really scalable. It’s good for control plane traffic but will struggle for data plane traffic (think hundreds of MB/s). I’ve never used Spring but in my mind it’s the typical blotted Java framework, with 1234 features that I don’t need.
what do you use for data plane?
Netty or Netty based frameworks like VertX.
