I've used SpringBoot recently on several projects after being in the Rails and Django and PHP world for a long time and I must say its super great.
I never could have imagined that I would praise a web framework based on Java 5 years ago.
Its lightweight, super fast (compared to Rails or Django), mature (its been around more that 15 years) and very stable.
It also supports Kotlin development
The more I learn about the Spring eco system the more I am suprised by how much stuff it covers everything from Spring Security to Spring Batch to Spring Reactive to Spring Cloud Task. Its mind blowing how much ground it covers.
Also, I hear the latest version will support Graal VM making start up times equivalent to native.
I strongly suggest spending time with it for those interested.
- vbsteven 6y agoI've been beating this drum for a while. Spring has lots of legacy as it is 17 years old and has been through a series of technology waves over the years. That has both benefits and drawbacks. With Spring Boot and Kotlin support it is now a modern framework that has straightforward solutions for most current problems. Built on a solid battle tested foundation (JVM + Core Spring) Spring Boot (+ Kotlin) has been my goto stack for most problems for years now. There is a learning curve like most non-trivial software but once it clicks it's hard to go back to something else.
