What is the value of using Spring Boot?

The value of using Spring Boot is as follows:

• Accelerated development: Automatic configuration, starter dependencies, and convention-over-configuration dramatically reduce boilerplate code and configuration effort.
• Microservice architecture: Easily create and deploy self-contained, executable microservices.
• Embedded servers: Allows running applications as JAR files without the need for external application servers (e.g., Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow).
• Monitoring and metrics: Provides built-in capabilities for monitoring application health, collecting metrics, and management via Spring Boot Actuator.
• Simple dependency management: Starter dependencies offer curated sets of dependencies for common scenarios (e.g., spring-boot-starter-web for web applications).
• Non-intrusive configuration: Minimizes the need for XML configuration, favoring JavaConfig and auto-configuration.
