Netty is a well known asyn and event driven client/server framework that support majority of protocol like FTP, SMTP, HTTP and provide low level programming for UDP and TCP applications. On top of that Glassfish provide a special Jersey container that uses it non-blocking IO and HTTP services. It can be used a web service container in simmilar fashion like Grizzly.
We can you use maven standard plugin like assemply and shade for packaging the web service and thier depenencies.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<configuration>

Like Grizzly, it provide out of the box support for deploying web service build using Jersey and also provide standard container based on Netty HTTP services.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.containers</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-container-netty-http</artifactId>
<version>2.26</version>
</dependency>
Like Grizzly, it provide very abstract API for configuring REST services and running the container.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Channel server = NettyHttpContainerProvider.createHttp2Server(new URI("http://localhost:8080/"), new rnd.web.service.rest.AppConfig(), null);
}
