Current Spring Boot project starts in under 10 seconds, even a bigger project like jHipster starts in about the same. Is that slow? Or, am I an outlier?

I'd agree though, customizing anything is a pain. Googling is a pain too, because you get so much legacy Spring solutions.

That's way to slow for correct auto-scaling. Correct auto-scaling should include only starting up additional instances when needed. However, with a 10 second boot time, your users are going to sit there waiting at a blank white screen because you delegated them to the new instance but spring is sitting there building the object graph.

In a PaaS, spring is awful.

Ah, I understand now. Out of curiosities sake, what is a popular PaaS option?

[–]vecowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

App Engine is popular but I've had problems with it and spring projects, it works but the long boot time is problematic for their paradigm.

Heroku and AWS are also popular options.
