Spring Boot Reviews

It's a framework that is very easy to access and easy to configure. It's inbuilt to the Apache Tomcat server, and it's very lightweight. 

We like that it is an open-source tool. 

The solution is very lightweight.

It's simple to access.

The design is great. I can easily access and just pull API if I want to trigger any URL in that application.

One of the best aspects is that it is cloud native. 

Even if I want to implement a microservice that's in it, I can design the microservices. 

In terms of transactions, I can do a bunch of different services and break them down into microservices. I can do that using the RESTful API if I need to send it from the front end to the back end. 

It works well with GitHub. It's a very flexible way to configure the JavaBeans, XML configurations, and databases. We can manage REST endpoints, and I can use RESTful API, which makes it easy to auto-configure. There is no manual configuration needed. 

In terms of the Spring Boot application, the application's startup time needs to be improved. We'd like to see more speed and better performance. 

We'd like them to develop more supporting testing. We'd like to see it be more flexible.

It would be ideal if they continued to prioritize security.

They should ensure that auto-configuration related to Spring MVC will be added into any new features.

It's stable and very easy to create a standalone application. The performance is good and it is reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

I've never had to contact support. I use a full-stack website. I can find many answers I'm looking for online. 

In terms of the initial setup, the basics are very important. If I know Java, for example, if I know Java, it will be easier. I have Java experience, and that's huge. I have more than seven years of experience, and I have worked in different frameworks. Therefore, for me, it's easy to understand the design of the architecture, which makes implementation simple. 

A cloud deployment won't take that much time. Every two weeks, I have the deployment using an Agile sprint. I can deploy within five minutes. It does, however, depend on the requirement. We tend to follow the documentation while moving into production. 

The solution is open-source and free to use. I'm not aware of the pricing of the commercial version. 

We are a customer and end-user.

If you plan to use this product for the first time, I suggest doing some research. It's easy to use and doesn't require that much configuration, however, it's simpler if you understand a little bit about it. 

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use Spring Boot to build our own microservices as per our platform requirements. We build everything from scratch. It is easy for developers to learn how to use and to start building. We have approximately 100 people in our team using it. 

Spring Boot facilitates the use of Java which is open source. We use Github and other libraries that are available which assist in the building we need to do.

This solution could be improved if there were more libraries available. We would also like more mobile platform functionality using low levels of code. 

We have been using Spring Boot for two years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

Because Spring Boot operates using Java and is open source, there are a lot of artifacts available on the web. We have not needed to contact Spring Boot for customer support. 

We decided to use Spring Boot because it operates using Java which works on any platform including Windows, Linux, or Unix. It is easy to deploy in different environments.

The initial setup is generally straightforward but can be more complex when trying to build enterprise apps. The setup takes approximately one week. 

I would recommend this solution to those who have good Java knowledge and skills. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. The reason is that generally less code needs to be written when using it. The Spring Boot framework eliminates the need to write code from scratch. If you wanted to build your own product or solution, Spring Boot offers many possibilities. 

The solution is stable and has a vast community. It works on Java-based language and has an efficient framework.

They should include tutorial videos for understanding new technologies.

I have been using the solution for three years.

The solution's framework is stable. I rate its stability a ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a ten.

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward. I rate the process an eight. It requires specialized knowledge of Java. It takes one week for simple APIs. Whereas it might take a month or two for complex projects.

I rate the solution a nine. I advise others to know new ways of configuring it.

I primarily rely on Spring Boot as the core microservices framework, used for creating myriad solutions for health care and for the financial services industries. Environments change, depending on client commitments and budgets, but Spring Boot remains as the successful nexus for all development.

I have used it for both SQL and NoSQL solutions, including both caching and non-caching environments. With over 20 Spring modules to select for possible augmentation of the basic Spring Boot platform, there is nearly always a solution available.

In cases, where some additional, narrow functionality is still lacking, many existing solutions can be integrated into the Spring Boot Java framework, even if that functionality is not part of an official Spring Boot add-on module.

Spring Boot has sped time to market and has also improved testability, hence also improving the quality of deployed solutions. By eliminating the need for XML configuration, Spring Boot has also been instrumental in improving application performance, since this shift away from XML has provided an impetus to migrate from SOAP to RESTful services.

Also, Spring Boot has facilitated cloud migrations, since now the application can be deployed as a simple JAR file. Where Spring Boot has not helped has been with clients, who insist on moving away from Java (and .NET), towards lighter-weight solutions, such as NodeJS.

I have found the starter solutions valuable, as well as integration with other products.  For example, the MongoDB Repository feature is extremely helpful. Also, the integration with Spring Data JPA is valuable for accessing familiar JPA query functionality.

Spring Security facilitates the handling of standard security measures.

The Spring Boot annotations make it easy to handle routing for microservices and to access request and response objects.

Other annotations included with Spring Boot enable move away from XML configuration, and, of course, autowiring removes the necessity for creating objects in many scenarios.

Perhaps an even lighter-weight, leaner version could be made available, to compete with alternative solutions, such as NodeJS.

It would also be extremely helpful if hand-holding templates were provided, to quickly guide new developers through the entire end-to-end process of developing a solution with Spring Boot. These aids could be in question or checkbox answer format, which would then trigger the appropriate guides. The guides should be geared to developer tasks. For example, after the neophyte Spring Boot developer answers some questions, the guide might say, "OK, then, you will want to put your MongoDB queries in the MongoDB Repository that you have created. You can use this @Query format..."

I have been using Spring Boot for three years.

My impression is that Spring Boot is highly stable. In fact, I have not seen any stability problems, at all, since I have been using it.

Spring Boot scales well. Care must be taken if any state is to be maintained since maximum scalability would be associated with a singleton instance of the application.

A deep and wide community provides substantial support for the entire Spring Boot ecosystem.

Previously, I used the traditional Spring and EJB. Performance, error-prone XML SOAP layer, XML-weak developer skillset, as well as increased ease of Cloud deployment were prime motivators for switching to Spring Boot.

The initial setup is straightforward due to the extensive starter project support online. Also, there is vast community support online for Spring Boot.

Developers implemented without any vendor team support.

Since Spring Boot, as well as the associated Eclipse IDE (with the Spring Tool Suite, STS, installed) are free, ROI is extremely high. The only investment is developer training, which is minimized, in part by having starter projects available online, and in part, by the simplicity of the design of the platform.

Spring Boot is free; even the Spring Tools Suite for Eclipse is free.

I advise others to use the cost savings to invest in Postman Pro, and to use that product to create and run suites of integration testing, whenever changes are made to the code base. I even advise moving unit testing to Postman Pro test scripts, which can be run by testers, in addition to developers. In this way, zero-defect applications can be deployed and supported.

The closest competitor was a totally different option: NodeJS/React.

Spring Boot is a great way to implement microservices in the Cloud. It is an especially good choice if the requirements include background processing and calculations, which make the application a poor candidate for a lighter-weight solution, such as NodeJS.

My team uses Spring Boot to build APIs. We're running Spring Boot for 90% to 95% of our ecosystem. When you talk about the Java system, Spring Boot is the only framework we're using right now.

Spring Boot's configuration is easy, and it has an out-of-the-box deployment.

Spring Boot's cost could be cheaper.

I have been using Spring Boot for five years.

Spring Boot is not too stable on the cloud, and it normally consumes a lot of memory and CPU.

Spring Boot is a highly scalable solution. Around 200 to 250 users are using Spring Boot in our organization.

We previously used Apache Camel.

Spring Boot's initial setup is straightforward.

We have an in-house deployment, where they restrict your deployments into the cloud so that we can do on-prem setups. Then, you can deploy applications into the back setup.

Spring Boot is a cloud-based solution. I highly recommend Spring Boot for users who do not process highly sensitive traffic.

Overall, I rate Spring Boot an eight out of ten.

We primarily used the solution for web applications. 

The capabilities of the solution are very useful.

I personally am not a fan of the solution and don't like much of the tool.

It is easy to set up the solution.

The solution can scale. 

It is stable. 

The product uses up a lot of memory, which is an issue. We don't need such complicated frameworks. I don't use Java anymore. 

The performance could be better.

I've used the solution for several years.

It is stable. 

The solution's performance isn't so good, and it uses up a lot of memory.

The solution is scalable. It can extend well. 

We had about 4,000 or 5,000 users on the solution.

I have never used technical support. I can't speak to how helpful they would be. 

We are now using NodeJS. 

We were using Oracle Forms many years ago. Then we started using Java.

The initial setup is pretty straightforward. 

It has a deployment tool that makes it simple to start projects. 

The people available to handle the deployment and maintenance depend on the project. 

We were able to handle the initial setup ourselves in-house. It has a deployment tool that makes it very easy.

We did not pay any licensing fees for the solution. 

We have stopped using the solution as we stopped using Java.

I would not recommend the solution to others. I'd recommend NodeJS, however. I don't like Javan anymore.

I'd rate the solution five out of ten. 

The solution is mainly used for microservices. It's a Java solution. 

The solution is stable.

It has an easy initial setup. 

We can use the solution with Jenkins.

It is easy to set up. 

It's open-source and free to use. 

This is a pretty light solution. It's not too heavy.

There are lots of integrations already available. It's easy to integrate.

I'm not sure if there are any features that need to be added. 

We'd like to have fewer updates. 

We've been using the solution for five or six years. I've used it for a while now. 

The stability has been good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

We have 16 banks with us, and we use Spring Boot in some capacity in them all. 

It's a scalable solution. 

We've never directly contacted technical support.

We are using other Java framework solutions. 

The initial setup is pretty straightforward to set up. It's not overly complex. The deployment is pretty fast. It doesn't take a long time to set up.

We use Jenkins tools to help with the deployment process. 

We had a different team that handled the initial setup for us. However, it was done in-house. 

The solution is open-source. 

I'm an end-user.

We are using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number. 

The solution meets all of our requirements at this time. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. It's a very popular application.

I would rate the solution nine out of ten. 

I used Spring Boot to create a prototype for a banking solution. I developed two microservices, one for ATMs and the other for the backend. I used Spring Boot with the microservices architecture. I also wrote an application to calculate discount strategies or sales systems for a backend website.

Spring Boot's main feature is that it's great for DevOps because you can write your own application. You don't need to install Apache Tomcat. You can create your project easily with a few clicks.

To monitor your application, you can use RESTful API in Spring Boot, which can help you write microservices applications. In the latest version of Spring Boot, there are many features for reactive programming as well.

If you want to create large microservices applications, you need to connect several applications and services to each other. It is very complicated, and Spring Boot does not have an integrated solution for it.

It would be good to have documentation on Spring Reactive to better understand it.

I've been using Spring Boot for the past two years.

Stability wise, I would rate Spring Boot at eight on a scale from one to ten.

Except for Spring Reactive, the other tools and technology stacks in Spring Boot don't offer scalability. 

Many years ago, I switched from JSF to Spring Boot because it is a good, general framework with many features. For example, Spring Boot has IoC, inversion of control, aspect-oriented programming, and Spring Reactive.

The development phase is simple to install.

Spring Boot is an open-source solution.

For writing applications, Spring Boot is a practical option, and I would give it a ten out of ten.
