Differences Between SpringBoot and Spring

Why use Boot?

SpringBoot supports convenient use of Spring (It is used as the default nowadays)

• Easy dependency management → starter

  • Provides starter dependencies for easy build configuration

• Auto Configuration

  • Manages all internal dependencies needed for development

• Embedded WAS

  • Embeds a WAS like Tomcat, so there is no need to install a separate WAS

• Automatic configuration of Spring and 3rd party (external) libraries

  • When using external libraries, SpringBoot automatically specifies the version

• Provides production-ready features such as metrics, health checks, and externalized configuration
