Microservices concepts like circuit-breaker, config server, service discovery, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Application footprint and heavily using retrospection in Spring framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using spring boot for around 3 months and liked the way it manages service layer linking with repository layer, a handful of annotations and work is done, really good application to work at backend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of support to websockets make it difficult to make real time applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring Boot bundles all the necessary modules including an in-house web app server namely tomcat to start web applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing that I dislike about Spring Boot honestly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring has already simplified lots of developer efforts and with Spring boot it took to a whole New level. Microservices can easily be built and configured using spring boot. Not only that even the dynamically bringing instances up and down has been made simpler with help of APIS. Spring boot has solved the hasle of adding maven dependencies separately by providing with a starter pack at start spring.io Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to say about the defeciences of Spring boot as it's benefits supercedes it's defects. But I would point out that the programmers have become lazy and many developers have been avoiding complex algorithms and instead taking a easier path by using built in APIS in frameworks. This is not a problem at application level but could be a problem to developers career. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a full-fledged and powerful framework for Java application development. It's self container too for multiple development purposes. It's a boon to Micro-services application architecture. Much easier to configure and do code using this. Avoid a lot of boilerplate code. Helps developer in managing various resources/pools efficiently and easily. Configure resources based on what it finds in your class-path. Annotation based implementation really helps in code maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes configuration looks like over killing as developer. Rest it's great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love Spring Boot Projects! Makes development really easy and you can code and have a simple server up and running in a few minutes if you wanted. With spring initializer, you can choose what is included and so your Spring Boot projects works out of the box, Spend more time on business logic and less time on xml configurations. Also the Spring Tool Suite eclipse plugin that features a Boot Dashboard and being able to see which service is up and on which port. It's a lot easier than changing tabs through all your microservices to see which one is running and which port is taken. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Different versions of documentation floating around can be misleading. Older Spring Boot versions don't have support for certain libraries, syntax or features so it would be nice to have one documentation that specifies which version works with such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fact that Spring Cloud supports and works well with most other libraries and frameworks like Eureka, Ribbon, Zuul, Feign, Zipkin, RabbitMQ, Hystrix, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think Spring Cloud documentation is clear enough, sometimes I'm lost. So I think an improvement could be made in this direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a very light-weight framework which is very flexible enough to achieve loose coupling , addition of multiple features without major rework and provides various functionalities to work with. Spring makes development of web services very simple as it handles most of the configuration , database connection and bean injection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Spring needs to be configured very careful. Because of loose coupling configuration and handling them will become a bit complex as project grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Dependencies are added automatically based on functionality selected.Also dependencies are shrinked to single from multiple based on feature selected which makes pom.xml clean and easy to read. Spring boot has lot other capabilities which can be extended for effective and faster development time for developer which is a bless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need to know which dependency for add for which functionality after project creation is little tricky its comes with lot of practices and experience. Not much effective documentation i believe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The first point in favor of Spring Roo is its interface, a command interpreter with autocomplete, very similar to the shells with readline. This will allow us to create our own scripts to generate the skeleton or parts of the application with the flexibility and productivity of the command interpreters. In addition, the interpreter is really intuitive. Just press [tab] to see the options we have or enter the command 'hint' to get directions on the next step. Of course, we can continue to use our favorite IDE for development. Spring Roo monitors the changes we make in the code and takes appropriate action in case it should be done.

I have to admit that it has taken me a lot to decide to try it since I pigeonholed it among the conventional code generators that have never been to my liking. However, due mainly to the positive comments from professionals that I hold in great esteem and that, somehow, a conventional code generator did not fit into SpringSource, I finally could not resist anymore. After reading the documentation and doing some tests I was really impressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
