Portofino is written in Java and Groovy. The basic idea of Portofino is to automatically analyze the structure of an existing database, create a basic application structure, and then customize, handle permissions, etc.

If you have an existing relational database, this is a quick and easy way to bring it on-line with a nice user interface.

With Grails 3 you can to create an ultralight application with the next command grails create-app appName --profile=web-micro

Update: With Grails 3.1.0 the option is

grails create-app appName --profile=web-api

The generated application is stripped with only the necessary dependencies to create a restful api.
