We tried Play. It is not close to Django. At least with Java. It might be better if you use Scala.

For example, one thing which seems to be worse across the board is database evolutions. Django will autogenerate an evolution in Python for you [0] and if necessary you can adapt the code. In Java land you have to write SQL by hand [1] afaik? If SQL is not enough, I don't know what to do at all.

Hibernate can do automatic migrations, but I think most complex deployments prefer to take direct control of the process.
