What differentiates Spring Boot from other similar products?

Spring Boot isn't just a framework; it's a game-changer in Java development, offering simplicity, power, and convenience. It prioritizes ease with "convention over configuration," streamlining setup and speeding up coding. Its embedded server simplifies deployment, while starter dependencies cut down on configuration headaches. Spring Boot Actuator provides ready-to-use features for monitoring and managing applications effortlessly. The Spring Boot CLI boosts productivity by enabling rapid project creation from the command line. It's like having a supportive mentor guiding you through every step.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Objects are auto Created, ORM ( Object Relation Mapping ) is quite easy, Not only ORM but also the Auto injection of Dependencies is also very easy. Features Like Spring Security, JPA and other Database integration makes it quite easy to reply on. Spring Boot really reduces the Lines of Codes written and helps Developers to focus on Quality.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Documentation is not So good, One trying to learn from Google or some Youtube Video needs to Constantly update himself/herself with the changes propagated in the next version. The core Security feature is not productive enough. Should work more on Security aspects.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

While getting Started With SpringBoot, One must know why is he/ she looking for SpringBoot in the first Place .Secondly, Beginners must have the basics knowledge of JAVA, SQL and other Authentication services. Once you know a little about Java and Database, learn about Spring Core and then MVC and then go for Spring-Boot. This flow will help you understand better why is SpringBoot Majorly needed. Also if you are looking for JWT authentication or Spring Security, be updated with the changes made in the previous dependencies.

Pros

  • Efficient Service
  • Respectful
  • Fair
  • Altruistic

Cons

  • Security Frustrates
