Spring Boot

Spring Boot is an open-source, opinionated Java framework designed to simplify the development and deployment of production-ready applications. It eliminates the need for complex configurations by providing auto-configuration, embedded servers, and ready-to-use production features that allow developers to focus on writing business logic instead of managing infrastructure.

Features of Spring Boot:

• Spring Boot removes boilerplate configuration by offering automatic setup of commonly used Spring components, making application development faster and easier.
• It includes embedded servers such as Tomcat, Jetty, and Undertow, allowing applications to run as standalone executables without requiring external application server setup.
• Production-grade tools like health checks, logging, metrics, and monitoring are built-in, enabling seamless deployment and maintenance of scalable and secure applications.
• Spring Boot integrates smoothly with the broader Spring ecosystem and Spring Cloud, making it ideal for building microservices, distributed systems, and cloud-native architectures.
