the behavior of convention over configuration.
provides lots of default behavior which can be easily changed and accelerate the development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Generally not much except continuous version upgrade, sometime few features were not supported when i update the spring version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to generate working application with all dependencies and embedded tomcat using a user interface, command line or IDE plugins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up Data abstraction layer is too convoluted.
Slow start up time.
Not container friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Streamlining of Java services is absolutely fantastic. I like how layers of abstraction are introduced that make understanding complex code a lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Spring boot is not at fault, I'm just a JS developer at heart - for me the whole Java infrastructure is just too bulky. Obviously it has its advantages, but I prefer a bit more flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can create an application from scratch in seconds with spring boot. Dependency injection is very cool. It became a mainstream framework for creating microservices in java. I have used spring boot in 3 my last projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Writing db/component/web/integration tests are not obvious for me. I'm always google how to up the correct context 🙂 A lot of magic in configuration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new autoconfiguration is delightful, the way we can avoid all these tedious processes is wonderfull, its self contained so the testing is a lot easier, its just great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well if you go too much into spring you will end up married to it and it would be hard for your organization to leave it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

roo console, flexibility, creation of apps based on standard application architecture. There is huge potential with spring roo, I would prefer it, in comparing with jhipster for example. But some bad things should be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
could not install new version on sts4, on my mac, there is no intelij plugin. For library like this, simple installation process should be mandatory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring Boot is primary solution for all enterprise applications that are built on micro services. Spring Boot helps in getting all its dependencies by reducing most of the configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One should check dependencies properly otherwise Spring boot may unnecessarily increase the deployment binary size with unused dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Scaffolding is dynamic, customizable, repeatable. Most of the code is moved to aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Project seems to be dead for long time. Ngnix seems to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IOC and DI feature of Spring is very useful as compared to earlier Lookup technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The XML configuration is very static and makes the development slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
