## What it is
Rapidoid is an extremely fast HTTP server and full-stack Java web framework with modules for REST APIs, web GUI, ORM, security, and configuration. It emphasizes high productivity with concise, fluent APIs for building web applications and services on the JVM.

## Use cases
- build a rest api in java with minimal boilerplate
- embed an http server in a java application
- create a full-stack web app with mvc and gui components
- serve  endpoints with high throughput
- add authentication and role-based access to a java web service
- connect to mysql or postgres with jpa/hibernate in a web app
- set up https and reverse proxying for a java service

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fast alternative to Spring Boot for REST services
- you need an embedded HTTP server with fluent routing in plain Java
- you want an all-in-one web stack (server, ORM, security, templating) with few dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a large ecosystem, extensive third-party integrations, or active community support
- you require current Swagger/OpenAPI tooling or frequent updates
- your team prefers mainstream frameworks with abundant hiring pool and tutorials

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, http-server, routing, templating, auth, orm, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, apis, developer-tools
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: rest-api, high-performance, full-stack, reactive, embedded-server, microservices, docker
