One thing amiss in Vert.x is third-party tooling and frameworks that seem to be plentiful now on the Nodejs. However, slowly there are frameworks and libraries emerging to support the Vert.x way of doing things. The approaches can work for rapid prototyping of single page applications for real-time responsiveness. And, in such approaches versatility and flexibility become key. One major factor that distinguishes Vert.x from Nodejs is that it is built for the JVM and for polyglot programming making it accessible in a multitude of languages as well as for portability for container development. The following lists a few emerging frameworks and libraries that can support Vertx. Additionally, plenty of other integration options are also available, such as on Grails.
