spring.io Reviews & Product Details - Page 17

No boiler plate code, mainly we focus on only the business logic and autoconfiguration is best feature. Support for JAVA8 and newer version, JUNIT 5 and made life easier of a developer by introducing microservice and cloud architecture Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Still we do not have enough distributed tracking GUI for our application and will also like to have some template code as we have in Cloudformation, so Lambda has handlerequest as main method so this feature should also be added Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Had the first encounter with Roo, couple of years back, wherein we kickstarted the project with

simple spring roo shell and

configured packages

maven-arch type

web project

JPA provider.

Model definition

MVC Thymleaf templates for models

It was a bliss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing in particular.

But off late, we have much wide IDE support,

spring boot

https://start.spring.io/

which kind of makes roo redundant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had personally used the Spring Boot framework for the development of my web application. I found that the tool has fantastic features and lots of third-party tools integration support as well. It is very easy to use and also very easy to understand. There are lots of features provided by this tool for example maven easily integrate with sprint boot, supported functionality version control system like git, less configuration(developer only need to focus only development side not managing the configuration by itself), fully support hibernate framework, and also multiple databases like SQL, Oracle, and, Postgre SQL easily integrated as well.

The software needs little bit of performance issues for example framework frequently updates in the middle of the development that slows down the performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to setup, great documentation and wide community. It has a lot of integration with almost all you can imagine. Lot of boilerplate code is hidden under the hood. Very easy to write secure REST service with database access, package it in single uber-jar and start it with single command. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring adds some framework`s overhead in compare with plain code but you are saving lot of time to write your business logic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like its easiness to understand and a few actions to make it work. It is easy to setup multiple REST endpoints with Spring Boot. Also, since it is Spring directive, I am able to use ORM, services, and more Spring tools which I like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it is hard to change something in the core, but it is acceptable, because almost everything is configurable.

Sometimes, it is not easy to parse JSON for example, but it is more likely because of heaviness of Java, not Spring Boot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

command line interface for generating code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems that jHipster is WAAAAY more powerful with more combinations and frameworks than Spring Roo.

Frontend is old way of doing web. Spring Roo is still using MVC pattern. While in jHipster you can use Angular, React,Vue. You can setup as microservices.

Missing NoSQL support, Kafka integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy built-up of crud functions. Dependency removal is easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has not evolved since long. Making your own changes is difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Batch data processing in Microservices, Event streaming, ETL Export data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike in Spring cloud data flow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Developer don't need to set up server like tomcat or weblogic which comes as artifact by default available. This increases the productivity an lot and reduces the product development time as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes unusual increase of the binary file size because of some unused artifacts.

Since it supports micro services, but for a monolithic application it may be not that helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to use we can generate ready made production code .

Helpful for CRUD like application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to modify or delete the code after generation of code in frontend as well as backend which sometimes takes more time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
