What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". From configuration to security, web apps to big data—whatever the infrastructure needs of your application may be, there is a Spring Project to help you build it. Start small and use just what you need—Spring is modular by design.
