Overview

Spring Boot is an open-source, Java-based framework used to build standalone, production-grade applications quickly and with minimal configuration.

Core Features​

  • Auto-Configuration: Scans your project setup and automatically configures libraries based on the dependencies you have added.
  • Embedded Servers: Includes built-in web servers like Apache Tomcat, Jetty, or Undertow. You do not need to install an external server to run your web applications.
  • Starter Dependencies: Provides curated, all-in-one build descriptors (e.g., spring-boot-starter-web, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa) to drastically simplify your build configuration.
  • Production-Ready Features: Includes built-in tools for application health checks, metrics, and externalised configurations through Spring Boot Actuator.
