About Spring Boot
Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework built on top of the Spring Framework. It is designed to simplify the development of standalone, production-ready, and enterprise-grade applications with minimal configuration.
Spring Boot helps developers build microservices, RESTful APIs, and backend systems quickly and efficiently by reducing boilerplate code and automating many setup tasks.
Typical Spring Boot Stack
