Spring is the most popular Java-based framework for building enterprise applications. The Spring framework provides a rich ecosystem of projects to address modern application needs, like security, simplified access to relational and NoSQL datastores, batch processing, integration with social networking sites, large volume of data streams processing, etc. As Spring is a very flexible and customizable framework, there are usually multiple ways to configure the application. Although it is a good thing to have multiple options, it can be overwhelming to the beginners. Spring Boot addresses this “Spring applications need complex configuration” problem by using its powerful autoconfiguration mechanism. Spring Boot is an opinionated framework following the “Convention Over Configuration” approach, which helps build Spring-based applications quickly and easily. The main goal of Spring Boot is to quickly create Spring-based applications without requiring the developers to write the same boilerplate configuration again and again. In recent years, the microservices architecture has become the preferred architecture style for building complex enterprise applications. Spring Boot is a great choice for building microservices-based applications using various Spring Cloud modules. This book will help you understand what Spring Boot is, how Spring Boot helps you build Spring-based applications quickly and easily, and the inner workings of Spring Boot using easy-to-follow examples.
