Unless you want a job, there are more lightweight/interesting frameworks than Spring/Boot. e.g. Javalin+JDBI, Quarkus, Micronaut.

Seeing more and more Quarkus (IBM / Redhat) and Micronaut (Oracle) jobs these days. It's not as bad anymore.
Quarkus is more or less in the same complexity league as Spring Boot.
My main issue with Spring/Boot isn't the complexity, it's the ineffectiveness of JPQL/JPA/Hibernate.
But than I have bad news for you! Hibernate is also an important part of Quarkus. Anyway, neither Spring nor Quarkus force you to use Hibernate.
Yes I know. With Spring it's pretty unavoidable in common usage. I was hoping Quarkus was new enough to do something different than use 1999 EJB tech.
