Use of POJO: Supports POJO for developing an application is that you don’t need an enterprise container like an application server.

Flexibility for configuring Spring.

No Need Server.

AOP, IOC, DI Support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexitty and large no of classes.

High Learning Curve.

Lots of parallel mechanisms make it difficult to learn.

Sometimes Open Bugs/Issue takes a lot of time to be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring Boot helps me to setup a completely new project in very few moments. I do not need to care about basic configuration and the libraries and their versions. And over that, I can override wherever I need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Finding suitable customizations and how to exclude settings is quite complex. Also, some behavior and dependencies seem not intuitive, but this is due to the framework's nature and concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dependency injection and auto-configuration are the best I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to configure some external features like rabbit mq, Kafka which is not auto-configured Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring boot is a great java framework that focuses on creating microservice-based applications very easily and quickly. So previously our project was built on spring framework, later we migrated it to spring boot due to its added feature and benefits. Lots of boilerplate codes got reduced. The best part about spring boot is it mainly uses annotations rather than lengthy config files. So lots of configs can be tweaked within the code itself. It's a very handy and easy kind of framework while creating rest endpoints. With a little amount of code, we can expose APIs, create database connections, perform load balancing, and lots more.

As this is a growing framework and it has a vast community, I don't think it has any downside. Even if there are any bugs or technical glitches, due to the large community they will get fixed at the earliest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The spring boot is from the spring framework and is the best open-source framework to build standalone applications within no time. It makes the process simpler and more robust. I has many packages internally, we just need to add them to project and work on them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are some disadvantages to the spring boot. We can't undo the add the dependency once added. It stays even if we are not using it. This increases deploying time and occupies space in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using spring boot for the past 4 years and it has been a great companion when it comes to building microservices and API endpoints. It's easy to configure and write codes in a simple manner. The best part is most of the configurations are available in annotations which can be used during coding which reduces handling of configuration files and maintaining them. Though most of the features are from spring like dependency injection and IOC but spring boot has leveraged the spring architecture and made spring more handy and flexible.

Sometimes there are dependency conflicts between different java jars. That time we have to manually resolve them using the exclusion principle. That is an area where I feel spring boot can have that intelligence to resolve it on its own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability of spring boot to manage all the dependencies and their versions through a single POM file is very robust and easy to use. You can do pretty much everything using Spring boot if you are eyeing a micro service based API architecture system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel like that due to added unused dependencies the deployment files are large. Other than microservices, if you use it for applications with very complex design it may seem very far fetched. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I link most parts to add dependency in pom.xml then see the magic for STS it's aromatically download and all. its is best for Dbug the code and see values at runtime and most beast part is we can change the values also at run time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I disagree with new version because it's very slow when I running in d bug mode some time its automatically closed i dont's no why it happened many times and when i stating STS its take long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best open source

spring framework. Less configuration need to do to create a application.. Easy to create microservice based application with production ready configuration. Many configuration is easy via annotations or adding parameters in application.properties or yaml file. Spring actuator is a good functionality to monitor the application.

Take more time to build due to some unused dependancy added automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
