ABSTRACT: Succeeding With Spring Boot
Spring Framework based applications are almost a de facto standard in the Java world. However, the ecosystem is anything but simple with a large number of choices that need to be made when bootstrapping a new application. Spring Boot is one of the latest entrants to the Spring universe that makes it easy to build stand-alone, robust Spring applications with production-grade features such as metrics, health checks and externalized configuration. Used judiciously, this can enable rapid development. On the flip-side, it may also result in a lot of bloat getting introduced inadvertently, which may result in nasty surprises at the most inopportune times. This presentation summarizes our experiences building a suite of RESTful services based on Spring Boot.
