Spring Boot is an open-source Java-based framework used to create a microservice. It is developed by the Pivotal Team and is used to build stand-alone and production-ready spring applications.
Key Features:
- Auto-configuration: Automatically configures your application based on the dependencies.
- Standalone: No need for external web servers like Tomcat.
- Opinionated: It provides a default setup to speed up development.
