Just launched Alpas web framework

We'd love to get some contributions to our open source, Kotlin based web framework. We just launched a pre 1.0 version and are looking for feedback.

Check out Alpas and our post on dev.to to get started.

Thanks!

    Very cool! I really enjoyed working in Kotlin. Undertow was a bit clumsy but performed quite well in my experience. Do you have any benchmarks to compare against other JVM based web servers?

      Hi @parhelion! Adam and I work on Alpas. Kotlin is an awesome language!
      Alpas uses Jetty internally. There is no benchmarks available right now as we are more focused on the API stability and adding some missing features. Once we are happy with both we will get down to optimizing it. And to be honest, our goal with Alpas isn't to be the fastest web framework but rather to be a complete and delightful one. We aspire to be something like Laravel but for Kotlin.
