Chapter 2. Bootcamp: Introducing Spring Boot and Cloud Foundry
In this chapter we will explore how to build cloud native applications using Spring Boot and Cloud Foundry.
What Is Spring Boot?
When we say that an application is cloud native, it means that it is designed to thrive in a cloud-based production environment. Spring Boot provides a way to create production-ready Spring applications with minimal setup time. The primary goals behind the creation of the Spring Boot project are central to the idea that users should be able to get up and running quickly with Spring.
Spring Boot also takes an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries. An opinionated view means that Spring Boot lays out a set of familiar abstractions that are common to all Spring projects. This opinionated view provides the plumbing that all projects need, but without getting in the way of the developer. By doing this, Spring Boot makes it simple to swap components when project requirements change. Spring Boot builds upon the Spring ecosystem and third-party libraries, adding in opinions and establishing conventions to streamline the realization of production-ready applications.
