The summary above is based on 33 interviews we conducted recently with Spring Boot and Eclipse MicroProfile users. To access the review's full transcripts, download our report.
"We use the solution to create microservices."
"The solution is stable."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"This is a stable solution that is being used in the HR space."
"The simplicity is excellent."
"We like that it is an open-source tool."
"The most valuable features of Spring Boot include being able to check all the logs and doing health checks for applications. We can also do monitoring more quickly, and use Spring Boot for production support, so when production goes up or down, we can bring up the application very quickly through Spring Boot."
"Spring Boot could improve its integration with the major cloud providers. Connectivity with cloud solutions isn't easy compared to other frameworks like Django and Python."
"It is a stable solution."
"Spring Boot has a very lightweight framework, and you can develop projects within a short time. It's open-source and customizable. It's easy to control, has a very interesting deployment policy, and a very interesting testing policy. It's sophisticated."
"The configuration setup in Spring Boot is pretty simplified compared to Hibernate ORM."
"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"The database connectivity could be better in terms of dealing with multi-tenant systems."
"They should include tutorial videos for learning new features."
"The cloud packaging is not very straightforward."
"It's difficult to explain to junior developers what it does under the hood."
"We have specific algorithms for our Load Balancer or API gateway. So those things, if they could make it more precise, that would be beneficial. Sometimes when we are under pressure or any new person who looks into that stuff, we'll get confused or scared because of some difficulties in understanding Which algorithm needs to be used to implement a Load Balancer. When when we Yeah. Because when we say circuit breaker, we need to use it, and then the user gets a blank circuit breaker. This means we are saying the circuit breaker needs to be moved, and then that circuit breaker needs to be elaborated more. What type of algorithm should I do, and what exactly do I need to get done so that this circuit breaker can help me to resolve my issue? Because, you know, because if you go for the circuit breaker, it will ask to open the new tab, you know, since it will check. If the service is not responding, it will wait and go for another connection. So in similar words, if they can explain it a bit more, that will be helpful. Everyone could do their own Google stuff, and they will get it, but they need help understanding how this could help them to resolve the issue. It will be good if Spring Boot provides information about real-time use cases."
"Spring Boot's cost could be cheaper."
"We'd like them to develop more supporting testing."
"The tool's documentation could be improved, especially by tying it back to frequently asked questions and issues users have. A feedback loop in which the documentation targets the most commonly asked user questions would make using the solution easier. Essentially, I want a more user-centered approach to documentation rather than a purely technical focus."
