About Spring Boot

Spring Boot is a simple, declarative framework for building Spring-based applications. It makes it easy to get started with Spring, but it also provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks, and externalized configuration so that you can build robust applications that are configured the way you want them.

Spring Boot allows you to create stand-alone Spring applications without any code generation or XML configuration. It automatically configures Spring and 3rd party libraries whenever possible while still giving you control over how your application is configured and wired together.

Easy and Fast

I have developed many web based applications. The build tool I use with Spring Boot is usually the MAVEN repository. The last job I did was a registration form for company employees.

Pros:

Thanks to Spring Boot, I was able to develop many microservices quickly. I even minimized my time wasted by writing less database code. I can easily determine the settings I will use in the application. Accordingly, I can develop software faster by making the application settings default according to the application type. Also, one of the features I love is not sticking to one IDE. For example, I can create Spring Boot projects in many IDEs such as NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Visual Studio Code.

Cons:

Frankly, there is no feature that I do not like or that I would like to be developed for now. I can say that I like software development more with Spring Boot.

Pros:

I mostly like the scheduling feature provided by SpringBoot. Using annotations we can simply create a task scheduler. Also, connection to more than one database in a single app is very easy.We can configure role-based permission for all the rest APIs in a project.

Cons:

The only thing is if a project grows and there are a lot of dependencies then It could cause issues. Otherwise, It fulfills all of my requirements I am using it for years without any issues.

Pros:

Spring Boot is a complete solution to build a back-end system for Web Applications and Mobile Apps. I mostly like Its annotations-based configuration.Authorization and Authentication enablement is very easy. Interceptors and Dependency Injection are game changers in the market.

Cons:

I don't think there is anything to dislike about Spring Boot. They are continuously upgrading the framework as per new requirements.

Reasons for switching to Spring Boot

In J2EE we have to provide a lot of configuration thru XML files which is a time taking process. If project is large then those xls file become quite heavy and messy.But in Spring Boot we can do our configuration based on annotations. Which makes developers life easy.

Pros:

I mostly like the REST API development feature. It is very easy and quick to develop REST APIs using Spring Boot. We can deploy Spring Boot applications in most web servers like Tomcat and Jetty.It supports IOC, Interceptors, and Servlet Filters which makes it very easy to develop authentication and authorization features.

Cons:

The only thing I don't like about Spring Boot is the large size of the deployment file. Otherwise, I don't see any issue.

Reasons for switching to Spring Boot

Development was a little complex in Struts vs SpringBoot. We have to write a lot of configurations to make small changes in Struts2 projects.

Although Nice to develop microservices, not recommended to monolithic application. Moreover, it use a lot of memory that bring cost of processing in comparissing with other frameworks. For example, Go based

When using the spring framework, it is common to use its notation; however, I had some issues with these annotations, particularly @Autowired; this could be due to different Java versions, but it is not a big deal.
