Full-stack Development is Dead, Long Live Full-stack Development!
summary
Clear claim: Java developers can stay full‑stack by using concrete alternatives and the session compares three by building the same demo app. It shows Thymeleaf + htmx returning HTML fragments for progressive enhancement, Vaadin (Flow) rendering server‑side Java components (grid, pageable queries, data binding) with ~2,000 community components, and Hilla (RPC + TypeScript) generating client accessors, shared validation and a single JAR build. The demo app implements hello input, master‑detail grid, paging and validation and the examples run end‑to‑end from the repo.
