Episode notes
Embedding Application Server Benefits
- Spring Boot embeds the application server in the application to give developers full control over the environment.
- This approach removes the need for a separate, external application server and simplifies deployment.
Leverage Auto-Configuration
- Add required dependencies and provide minimal configuration to enable Spring Boot's auto-configuration.
- This drastically reduces boilerplate by auto-wiring components like data sources and connection pools.
Use Spring Initializr for Projects
- Use Spring Initializr to generate project skeletons with selected dependencies in minutes.
- It saves time and sets up Maven or Gradle files ready for IDE import.
