What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring based Applications that you can "just run". We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and third-party libraries so you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot applications need very little Spring configuration.
Spring Boot is a tool in the Frameworks (Full Stack) category of a tech stack.
Spring Boot is an open source tool with 75.4K GitHub stars and 40.8K GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Spring Boot's open source repository on GitHub

Decisions about Spring Boot

Here are some stack decisions, common use cases and reviews by companies and developers who chose Spring Boot in their tech stack.

Needs advice
on
MongoDBMongoDB
and
ZeroMQZeroMQ

In our Spring Boot application, which encompasses various projects, we employ ZeroMQ (ZMQ) for communication via a req/resp pattern. Recently, I observed that data is persisted in the MongoDB database before being transmitted to other applications. I've identified a method to monitor changes to the database, and I'm contemplating whether to utilize this monitoring approach to detect changes and execute the necessary instructions.

Which approach is more advisable in this scenario: leveraging the database monitoring mechanism or sticking with the current ZMQ req/resp communication?

Essentially, I'm seeking guidance on whether to rely on database monitoring for change detection and subsequent actions or to continue with the existing ZMQ communication pattern.

I've been studying Java for approximately six months now, and I'm considering delving into Spring Boot. Recently, I've been contemplating learning a secondary language for leisure, allocating about 20% of my study time to it. I'm particularly keen on a technology that is widely used. Consequently, I opted for Python since I'm not overly interested in client-side aspects. The decision to concurrently learn another technology stems from the limited availability of Java resources, especially at the junior level where more diverse small projects could enhance my understanding of backend development. What are your thoughts on this approach to diversifying technologies? Does it seem sensible, or would it be more beneficial for me to allocate 100% of my time to Java?

Hi. I am a backend developer in a company tasked with recoding a legacy application, choosing the right technology stack, and then later hiring for that stack.

This is a freight/logistics/courier application made 15 years ago in PHP with no modern framework used. In this application, customers from different countries login into their accounts and add a huge number of shipments, like let's say 500, and then, later on, generate PDFs for them after calling third-party APIs. This application has API integrations with lots of other companies and also offers API access to its own software as well. This application is also used in-house by warehouse people to scan different shipments using barcode scanners and to process shipments by performing different actions on them. The database being used currently is MySQL.

Now we have the choice to write this application in a modern technology stack. Performance, speed, reliability, and security are the primary concerns here.

Should I go with Java/Spring Boot with Angular2+ as the front end or PHP/Laravel with Vue.js as the front end?

Switching at this point from PHP to Java will not be hard if Java is considered better here because we can hire as per our final decision.

Thanks.

Django
Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.
JBoss
An application platform for hosting your apps that provides an innovative modular, cloud-ready architecture, powerful management and automation, and world class developer productivity.
Spring MVC
A Java framework that follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern and provides an elegant solution to use MVC in spring framework by the help of DispatcherServlet.
Play
Play Framework makes it easy to build web applications with Java & Scala. Play is based on a lightweight, stateless, web-friendly architecture. Built on Akka, Play provides predictable and minimal resource consumption (CPU, memory, threads) for highly-scalable applications.
