edavis asked about web development. Dropwizard was built for web services. There is a bit of a difference - user-facing web apps need to do templating, authentication, session management, etc.

I see that there is a Dropwizard module for templated views, which looks reasonably nice:

I'm not sure how well it supports the other aspects of a web application.
