• Spring Boot vs Spring MVC vs Spring : What’s in it?
  • Spring Framework : Dependency Injection
    • @Component, @Autowired, Component Scan etc..
    • Just Dependency Injection is NOT sufficient (You need other frameworks to build apps)
      • If you want to talk to a database, you need hibernate or GPA
      • Spring Modules and Spring Projects: Extend Spring Eco System
        • Provide good integration with other frameworks(Hibernate/JPA, JUnit & Mockito for Unit Testing)
  • Spring MVC (Spring Module) : Simplify building web apps and REST API
    • Building web applications with Struts was very complex
    • @Controller, @RestController, @RequestMapping(“/courses”)
      • They make easier to build web aaplications than Struts
  • Spring Boot (Spring Project) : Build PRODUCTION-READY apps QUICKLY
    • Starter Projects - Make it easy to build variety of applications
    • Auto configuration - Eliminate configuration to setup Spring, Spring MVC and other frameworks!
    • Enable non functional requirements (NFRs):
      • Actuator : Enables Advanced Monitoring of applications
      • Embedded Server : No need for separate application servers!
      • Logging and Error Handling
      • Profiles and Configureation Properties
