Overview

What is Spring Boot? Spring Boot was released in April 2014 to reduce some of the burdens of developing a Java web application. It allowed developers to focus more on the business logic rather than the boilerplate technical code and associated configurations. Spring Boot intends to create Spring-based, production-ready, standalone applications with little configuration changes on behalf of the application developer. It takes an opinionated view of the Spring Framework, so the application developers can quickly get started with what they need. It provides an additional layer between the Spring Framework for the user to simplify certain configuration aspects.¹
