Spring Boot
Spring Boot is an extension of the Spring framework that simplifies the initial setup and development of new Spring applications. Its primary goal is to ease the development, testing, and deployment of applications. Spring Boot achieves this by providing a range of production-ready defaults and by reducing boilerplate code that can slow down development.
Why Spring Boot?
-
Auto-Configuration: Spring Boot automatically configures your application based on the libraries you have in your project, saving you a lot of manual configuration effort.
-
Standalone: Spring Boot applications are standalone, web servers can be embedded in the application. This makes it easy to deploy and distribute your application.
-
Production-Ready: Features like health checks and metrics come built-in with Spring Boot, making your application production-ready out of the box.
-
Microservices Ready: Spring Boot works well with Spring Cloud, making it a great choice for building microservices architecture.
-
Community Support: Being a part of the Spring ecosystem, it benefits from a large community and a plethora of tutorials and guides.
Key Components
-
Spring Boot Starters: These are a set of convenient dependency descriptors that you can include in your application. You get a one-stop-shop for all the Spring and related technologies that you need without having to hunt through sample code and copy-paste loads of dependency descriptors.
-
Spring Boot AutoConfigurator: This is the feature that enables your Spring application to automatically configure based on the jar dependencies that you added.
-
Spring Boot Actuator: Provides production-ready features like metrics, health checks, etc.
-
Spring Boot CLI: This is a command-line tool that you can use if you want to quickly prototype with Spring. It allows you to run Groovy scripts, which means that you have a familiar Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code.
By the end of this training, you'll be well-equipped to develop Spring Boot applications efficiently and deploy them to a cloud environment.
