Solon is a Java enterprise application framework positioned as a Spring replacement, covering web, microservice, RPC, IoC, and AOP concerns without servlets or Spring. It also ships an MCP server role, with topics referencing LLM, Model Context Protocol, and OpenAI integration.
You want a non-Spring Java stack that claims faster startup, lower memory use, and smaller packages while staying compatible with Java 8 through 26.
Use it to
- Build Java microservices and REST APIs without Spring
- Use Solon's IoC and AOP framework in enterprise apps
- Expose an MCP server from a Java application
- Replace Spring in an existing Java codebase
- Target Java 8 through Java 26 including LTS releases
