What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run".

What differentiates Spring Boot from other similar products?

Spring has always been an asset in the treatment of java code, being able to count on the framework created by them will always be an advantage.

Acquire it without hesitation, obviously it is necessary to have a development base in java but it will really facilitate the day to day in terms of development.

Many common Spring features, including data access, security, and messaging, are automatically configured by Spring Boot. This can help developers save a tonne of time and effort. It is suitable for creating microservices. It offers functions like load balancing and service discovery.

It is simple to add common functionalities to your application by using the "starter" dependencies that Spring Boot offers. Several features in it make it simple to deploy your application to production.

When creating a microservices solution, where you must quickly start up numerous little programs, this can be a challenge. It might be difficult to keep up with all of the different Spring Boot projects because there are so many of them.

The documentation for Spring Boot is a fantastic source of information. From the fundamentals of Spring Boot to more complex subjects, everything is covered.
