About the Technology
The Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development, but it does
require lots of tedious configuration work. Spring Boot radically
streamlines spinning up a Spring application. You get automatic
configuration and a model with established conventions for build-time
and runtime dependencies. You also get a handy command-line interface
you can use to write scripts in Groovy. Developers who use Spring Boot
often say that they can't imagine going back to hand configuring their
applications.
