Spring Boot Reviews

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.

The solution's externalized configuration feature works the best. It allows us to read configuration from the server, external files, applications, etc. Its actuator feature helps us manage and fetch insights on the application's performance. Also, Spring Boot's 12-Factor app helps us to deploy microservices in cloud-native environments easily.

They should integrate the solution with more AI and machine learning platforms. In addition, its integration with Kubernetes needs improvement. Also, they should add documentation specifying project-wise integrations. Along with this, they should include more configurations and streamline the implementation process.

We have been using the solution for ten years.

I rate the solution's stability as an eight.

It is a very scalable solution. I rate its scalability as a nine.

We use open-source forums to resolve technical issues.

We have used Quarkus and Micronaut previously. In comparison, Spring Boot provides integration with multiple platforms.

I have previous experience working with Spring Boot's framework. Thus, its setup was straightforward for me. The deployment gets faster by creating native images using GraalVM. 

I rate the process as an eight.

I advise others to make the purchase decision based on particular use cases. I rate the solution an eight as its framework has a legacy of integrating multiple databases.

We are using Spring Boot to create services.

The most valuable feature of Spring Boot is it reduces the configuration needed. The configuration is handled by the solution. For example, if you're going to develop a web service, we needed to have a Tomcat web server and had to deploy the services and do tests. However, with Spring Boot, the default server comes with Spring Boot which reduces the task of doing all the configuration.

The solution is good for developing services in Spring Boot web and for batch services Spring Boot batch. You are able to use multiple cloud services to monitor your service production, such as Eureka

Spring Boot can improve the dependency tree that we use for libraries. It would be helpful if it was less complex.

I have been using Spring Boot for approximately one year.

Spring Boot is a highly stable solution.

Spring Boot is meant to be scalable. We use microservice architecture, which is tightly coupled with our Kubernetes cluster. You have your microservices with the default one or three ports, and based on the traffic, you can scale up your ports. The scalability of Spring Boot is very good.

Most of our whole company is using this solution, which is over 10,000 people.

This is an open-source solution and the support is not free. However, the documentation is readily available online.

The initial setup of Spring Boot was easy. The full deployment time can vary depending on the pipeline tests and if you have any other tasks, such as SonarQube checks which checks for everything. Typically, the process takes approximately 30 minutes. However, the time could increase if there are many complex elements, such as unit tests, and many modules.

If the deployment has a few services used and there are not any test cases, the deployment could take two minutes.

We did the implementation of the solution in-house.

If you want support there is paid enterprise version with support available.

If you develop in Java, 99 percent of people would use Spring Boot. There is a lot of framework support.

My advice to others is they should structure their directory classes properly or else the Spring Boot automatic configuration would not detect the components.

I would recommend this solution to others, there is not a more user-friendly tool available.

I rate Spring Boot a nine out of ten.

I gave my rating because the solution has open-source community support and it makes it easier by avoiding the need for us to do the configuration.

The use cases depend on the domain I require it for. Sometimes its for the banking domain and sometimes for health.

The Spring Cloud Gateway, Load Balancer are the valuable features. Apart from them, handling a sync call, then multiple service communication through field clients are also useful features.

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.

I have been using the solution for five years.

It is a stable solution. The new version is compatible with JDK so there are no stability issues.

It is a scalable solution. I rate the stability nine out of ten.

I rate the overall solution a nine 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. 

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.

We use Spring Boot for microservices, but for the logistic version. We also use the solution for traditional banking purposes.

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 is okay right now, but my team is looking for some integration where you can make a call to the JMS messaging service and other types of third-party integrations. If the integration with Spring Boot is improved, that would make the tool better.

What I'd like to see in the next release of Spring Boot is its integration or tie-up with messaging servers and third-party EFPs, as that would make it very good and more competitive versus other new solutions in the market.

I've been using Spring Boot for three and a half years now.

Overall, Spring Boot is a stable tool.

Spring Boot is a scalable tool. For example, in some microservices, you can just scale down if not used in most cases. For other micro solutions, you can bring up in the RAM space or in cluster mode. If you need more people to use Spring Boot, you can scale it, with no issues.

My rating for the Spring Boot technical support team is five out of five.

The initial setup for Spring Boot was straightforward, and it was completed within ten minutes.

We deployed Spring Boot in-house.

As Spring Boot is an open-source tool, it's free.

As microservice is a new concept, Spring Boot is the first solution we've used that offers it. Before, we used a monolithic application, the Spring MVC. Now people are moving to microservices, with each service being broken down into a simple service.

My company deployed Spring Boot by embedding it on a Tomcat server.

In the company, twenty people use Spring Boot for different microservices such as logistic applications for invoice creations, booking logistic services, invoicing, login authentication, load management services for creating loads, creating roads on maps such as Google Maps, etc.

My company relies on Spring Boot and uses it extensively as it's an open-source tool and so much has been added to it in terms of Java. It's a platform with independent capabilities that you can just deploy in Windows or Linux, and that's a Spring Boot advantage.

My advice to anyone looking into implementing Spring Boot is to go for it. If you need microservices, this is the best solution to use.

My rating for Spring Boot is nine out of ten.
