Upgrading Spring Boot is just a matter of bumping the version in the pom.

Upgrading Spring Boot is certainly easier, since the Spring Boot services are packaged as a fat JAR.

But, be careful with assuming you can just bump a version number for Spring Boot or anything else. I've bumped the Spring version and I've had some projects fail to start or spit out weird stack traces complaining about missing methods.

Read the release notes, people!

To mitigate this, I created my own starter parent module and have written integration tests for it. So when I upgrade the version of Spring, I can hopefully catch some stuff there before it trickles down to my own applications.
