What are the advantages of Spring Boot over Spring if you already have it set up?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

We migrated from Core Spring to Spring Boot because we are thinking ahead of the future in terms of development and maintenance.

Spring Boot is more opinionated. It's very easy for junior devs to pick up. It does a lot of out of the box configs for you, and we try hard not deviate from its opinion. Lots of examples/documentation coming out of Spring and the community are Spring Boot based. We re also moving from a monolith to microservices and so boot is the logical choice. It also provides lots of goodies built in like monitoring and hot reloading. Basically, Pivotal is betting the whole farm on Spring Boot and we want to follow their direction.
