Spring Boot is used with the Apache Camel framework for creating web services and APIs, as well as for database interactions, primarily for backend APIs. Since December 2024, work has been conducted on the Apache Camel framework, which is an open-source option, while Red Hat Fuse is the licensed product version. Apache Camel and Red Hat Fuse are essentially the same thing, with minimal differences between them. There have been no significant updates from either in the last two years. Spring Boot has been used in conjunction with Apache Camel within the last year.
Spring Boot is used for standard web application processes such as REST API, API management, and API calls that we implement as part of the microservices implementation for banking and insurance processes. It is implemented differently, as we work for ADO, Microsoft ADO, connecting with the ADOs and then capturing the data that is required for the organization and implementing framework that I am using.

I am still currently working with Spring Boot and Java. We use Spring Boot for microservices. Because a big project has multiple modules, if one module or any service is down, the whole project is not affected. There is a functionality of microservices where we can divide the whole project into different microservices. If one service is working and there are any issues in that particular service, we can fix it while the remaining services continue to work fine. I am not using the Actuator for monitoring in Spring Boot. However, Spring Boot already has accurate monitoring available. I rely on its features for application health and logging. We maintain logs for any bugs or issues in the application. With this accurate monitoring, I see numerous benefits in application management. If an application is running, we monitor memory usage, JVM, CPU usage, and how many requests are handled at the same time for load balancing. We can see metrics that inform us about resource allocation, allowing us to adjust CPU and RAM as needed. From working with Spring Boot, I have seen many benefits. For instance, in terms of monitoring, we can conduct real-time health checks on whether any service is up or down. We track CPU performance, garbage collection, and the number of simultaneous requests and response times. Another best feature is its security and configurability, which makes it easy to integrate any third-party applications. I am a developer who previously worked on AdMob and switched to Spring Boot. The project involves banking and hospital systems. They asked if I would work with them, so they changed the platform technology, and I needed to work on Spring Boot and Java technology. I am comfortable with that because I have been learning Java for the last five to six years.

I see 2 fundamental use cases:
1. Application Development -- Web using Spring MVC -- Flux
2. Product Development -- From writing Application Servers to Domain-Specific CRMs -- In fact products like Mule Anypoint Platform are built around Spring Core.
That means pretty much anything you can think of :)
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.

The big thing in Spring Boot is that you don't need to make many manual configurations to set up some of the basic things I analyze. If you use Spring Core and want a JDBC connection, you need to consider a lot of XML files to have the JDBC connection done. In Spring Boots, it is simple to have the JDBC connection since the basic functions can be achieved with minimal codes or minimal configurations, making it a very powerful tool. There is not much custom configuration needed in Spring Boot.
Spring Boot is used for microservices and web apps. Spring Boot is a highly modular and versatile framework with excellent inversion of control and dependency management features. It also implements the popular MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern and offers other useful design patterns, such as the active system via Spring Security. The framework is excellent for developing black feed applications, and developer tools and monitoring systems are also available. Additionally, Spring Cloud is a fantastic tool for writing code for cloud platforms like GCP Cloudgram, as it facilitates the rapid development of APIs.
We use the solution to build microservice architecture. It helps us expose microservices to REST API or similar messaging applications to provide a communication bridge.

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.

We use the solution to run microservices on an Azure platform. Our UI is on Angular, and Spring Boot is our backend. We have connections with Kafka Topics and some IBM backend tools, and Spring Boot is sufficient to play the part of the orchestration layer.
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 is a Java Framework, and it offers dependency management for Maven and Gradle, but we use it as a Maven project. We're a massive bank, and I estimate that 95 percent of Java projects use the Spring Boot Framework. It's upwards of 40,000 users.

I have 12 developers using Spring Boot in my organization. There are currently two teams in my company: one for the web version, another for the desktop version.
We are using the latest version of Java Spring Boot. We can just start with the application within a day. When we start developing we can just start up the application development immediately and work for like four or five hours. We are using it for logistics companies and will be logging thousands of users. Companies of three thousand to four thousand users are what we are using it for.
My primary use case is to develop APIs used by single-page applications. It's almost exclusively for web applications and sometimes for communication between micro services, meaning two Spring Boot apps talking to each other. I develop API and the processes, using open API to define before developing them. With Spring Boot we generate the code and we serve the API's to this single-page application or other micro services. I use it almost every day. It's open source, so we don't have any partnership with them, we're a customer. I'm a software engineer.
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.
I'm the CEO of our company and a user of Spring Boot. I use the product on a daily basis for business applications. It's great because it simplifies development. Together with MyBatis, they make a beautiful pair for Java development. I'll be developing with Spring Boot in the future.
Spring Boot is a tool that makes developing web applications and microservices with the Java Spring Framework faster and easier, with minimal configuration and setup. By using Spring Boot, you avoid all the manual writing of boilerplate code, annotations, and complex XML configurations. Spring Boot integrates easily with other Spring products and can connect with multiple databases.
