Spring Boot

Top Pro

Fast prototyping

Top Con

Lacking in UI development

While actually very good and with a very complete and rich feature set to develop and maintain code on the server side, it still doesn't provide any rich framework for building good user interfaces. See More

DebonairHendursaga's Experience

Coming from .net ( I like C# as a language more than Java), was quite refreshing as I had to spend less time configuring databases and queueing infrastructure, logging and what not - instead focus on business logic and solutioning the problem at hand. Spring initializr is the only scaffolding engine you will need. Supports Groovy and Kotlin now I hear if you feel Java being a bit too verbose. See More

Platforms:Cross-platform

1.) Spring Webflux -non blocking- based on reactive stack. 2.)Minimum resource utilisation. 3.)Non blocking drivers for RDBMS, NOSQL etc. 4.)Atruntime, Java remains already in interpreted way in th form of .class form. 5.)Many easy to use add on frameworks like Spring Integration, Spring Zuul, Spring cloud etc. See More
