Why i ussed Dropwizzard

I choosed Dropwizard because it simplified the building of the API using Jersey that was my first choice for REST and camed with an ops-friendly library called metrics, developed by them. Also i wanted to tested because i read a lot of recommendations for it and i just did 3 years of spring API’s so i wanted something different and promising. The process wasn't painless but the downsides that i expirienced aren't that bad.

I have more reasons but i wanted to keep this brief.
