Spring Boot

FrameworkFor JavaServer-side About Java →

Spring Boot is a framework: a big box of ready-made building blocks for Java. Instead of writing every part of a web server yourself, Spring Boot gives you the plumbing (starting the server, handling web requests, talking to databases) so you can focus on what your app actually does. Huge companies like Netflix use it to run thousands of services behind the scenes.
