Congratulations on 1.0 release. I love dropwizard too, it makes backend development seem very sane and predictable.

To teams that you Dropwizard, what is your front end stack? Do you use Angular and communicate with proxy to dropwizard or do you do something which talks to Dropwizard API directly?

During initial development we are starting out with bundeling our angular app with the api by serving the angular app as dropwizard assets. There we use webpack-dev-server in proxy mode for easier development with livereload. We don't like the complexity of seperation from the start. If we run into problems (assets need to scale differently than the api) it's pretty easy to extract the static angular app and serve it via a separate webserver.
