Shameless plug nextmv (YC W20) https://nextmv.io/ is building tooling in the same space in Go and were cloud native / serverless first.
I used optaplanner at a previous gig before working at nextmv — we don’t offer the same type of “choose your own adventure” tooling compared to optaplanner yet, but it’s much more lightweight to get, say, a routing model shipped in to production IMO. (Java shops notwithstanding).
The -Dnative build compiles your java code natively into an native executable that boots up in milliseconds (instead of seconds like a JVM). This is the result of strong collaboration between us (the OptaPlanner team) and the Quarkus team and we have more features in the pipeline.
nextmv sounds like a breath of fresh air, congrats
I would have maybe liked Optaplanner if I could peer through all the layers of Java, it seems like a thick Java sandwich with some optimization somewhere (but I have to say I lost it when you can turn your model into XML apparently)
