Building lightning fast REST Services with Dropwizard and Groovy

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

In this talk, I will demonstrate how to use best of breed tools in the Groovy ecosystem --- GVM, Lazybones, Shade, Spock, Groovy, Gradle & Cloud Foundry --- to build, test and deploy DropWizard applications.

Dropwizard is a JVM framework for building fast, ops-friendly high performance RESTful web services. It comes with out-of-the-box support for configuration management, logging and health monitoring.

I will also discuss how DropWizard services fit within a Grails-centric architecture and provide alternatives from the Grails world for many of the niceties provided by DropWizard.
