That probably has little to do with language/stack and everything to do with constantly changing requirements/system growth.

To your required engineers comment, Spring Boot + jOOQ is easily one of the most productive backend stacks I've ever used. A single engineer could easily build a large API leveraging the stack.

Take a look a vert.x and Dropwizard. Spring Boot can handle maybe 10k requests per second, but Dropwizard is around 200k and vert.x maybe a million.

If you're only using them for a REST API they offer similar features. Spring Boot supports loads of other stuff you probably don't need for something API driven
