# Spring Boot

Skill · Web Development

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/spring-boot

Spring Boot is an opinionated extension of the Spring Framework that lets Java developers create stand-alone, production-ready applications with minimal configuration. It provides auto-configuration, embedded web servers (like Tomcat), and curated "starter" dependencies so teams can get a working service running quickly. It has become the de facto standard for building Java microservices and REST APIs.
