SPRING BOOT ,JAVA BASED WEB FRAMEWORK LET'S EXPLORE.

 

 What Is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is a Java-based backend framework built on top of the Spring ecosystem. It was created to simplify the development of production-ready applications by removing boilerplate configuration and setup.

  • Name Origin: “Spring” refers to the broader Spring Framework, and “Boot” implies fast startup and minimal setup like “bootstrapping” your app instantly.

 Why Spring Boot?

Traditional Java web development used to be complex and verbose. Spring Boot changed that by offering:

  • Auto-configuration: Automatically sets up your app based on dependencies.

  • Embedded servers: No need to deploy to external Tomcat , it runs out of the box.

  • Opinionated defaults: Comes with sensible defaults so you can focus on writing logic.

  • Production-ready tools: Built-in metrics, health checks, and monitoring.
