IMO almost nobody is writing microservices with spring boot because its so gigantic. Hibernate isn't bad on memory use on its own. There's a raft of more sane choices these days like Play, Dropwizard, Vert.X etc.. They all use far less resources. Spring Boot is huge because it has to support a decade of obsolete junk, its far more than just a REST app framework. Checkout TechEmpower's framework benchmarks https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r16&hw=... (I added filters to limit to Java+Go+JS+Python and limited DB to Postgres and Mysql) Java and Golang lead the pack, with JS a distant second and most Python frameworks hanging out near the bottom |

I've encountered plenty of spring boot microservices in my work and, from what I hear of other companies, it's not particularly rare.
Most of the time, if you have a team that's productive in Spring, a manager or lead will be happy to spend some extra memory and get more features shipped.
