I have already provided an example for a basis for comparison with Spring Boot, with REST as a use case, and stated a preference to avoid having to deal with disparate Perl projects that were not originally designed for microservices architecture (albeit they can be used as such).

Java has well-understood and popular ecosystems for web and microservices with clear goals for different projects (eg. the need to extend Spring with Spring Boot, and others like Quarkus and Micronaut that tailor to different developer preferences).

As some people have helpfully pointed out, Perl offers projects that can satisfy aspects of microservices:

  • Catalyst promotes convention over configuration (a style of Spring Boot)
  • Mojolicious is event-driven, can run standalone instances (a feature of Spring Boot)
  • Plack is light weight (the need for Spring Boot)
  • Myraid is unclear to me what it coordinates (my guess is BPM or deployment orchestration, or some kind of burst scaling tool)

    but this is precisely the kind of disparateness I want to avoid where there is no complete unified solution.

    A CPAN search shows projects that come close are apparently primarily only intended as management tools (as opposed to frameworks) (eg. BeeKeeper, Myraid, Narada).

    Judging on the responses received thus far, I believe that Perl has no specific microservice framework.
