Scalable solution with an easy initial setup process
We use the solution for managing large programs, customer interactions, testing, and calculation purposes of our finance-based company The solution's most valuable feature is its ability to support dynamic developer profiles. We can easily create multiple accounts and rooms for different…
RakeshPatel2 - PeerSpot reviewer
It's highly scalable, secure, and provides all the enhanced tools I need.
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. I need to connect to GCP, so I would like to have one simple dependency that I can include to immediately connect to GCP, so I don't need to go through all the configuration steps.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"Provides a lightweight runtime."
"We use the solution to create microservices."
"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."
"Spring Boot's configuration is easy, and it has an out-of-the-box deployment."
"This is a pretty light solution. It's not too heavy."
"The API gateway and cloud configuration allows us to configure the properties outside of the service with respect to enrollment."
"It is a stable solution."
"We like that the product is open-source."
"The solution reduces our development time."
"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."
 

Cons

"The tool needs to improve its messaging."
"Deployment of microservers in the Kubernetes environment is difficult."
"Its performance speed could be improved while working on the browser."
"The product could be improved by supporting and integrating Hadoop."
"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."
"When the dependencies within those starter packages clash, mismatch or have a hazard, it is hard to solve the issue."
"communicationbetween different services from the third party layers or with the legacy applications needs to improve."
"Spring Boot is lacking visibility in terms of how that business process or business rule would look within your application. Because everything has been embedded within the code itself, it disables the visibility. the ability to maintain or even support a specific functionality in a user-friendly manner, where a developer can come up and just adjust that part of that process."
"The current state of Spring Boot's cloud layer requires further development, especially for collecting Java functions for cloud platforms like GCP Cloudground. Having to write every single API request in a single class can be a cumbersome and time-consuming task that is not ideal for Java developers. Additionally, having all API calls in one class and making it the main class presents problems with package visibility. Therefore, there is much room for improvement in the Spring Cloud area."
"The cloud packaging is not very straightforward."
"I would like to see more integration in this solution."
