Spring: your next Java micro-framework - Alexey Nesterov @ Spring I/O Bridge

Spring I/O Bridge (online conference) - 15 May 2020

Quite often Spring is opposed to so called “micro” frameworks in Java world. “Micro” means different things to different people, but usually it implies reduced runtime footprint and code simplicity. In this talk, I’ll show that you don’t have to abandon your favourite Spring Boot to a new and shiny thing to achieve the same result. Also I’ll show how to find the balance between simplicity and productivity, improve runtime efficiency, e.g. image size, memory footprint, and startup time when using Spring Boot.

Cool, thank you, I didn't even know about such possibilities in spring ecosystem. But I think, the main point here is that these projects are unexplored by many spring users like me, and they deliver <another framework>-like functionality built on top of spring. So let's substitute the question "why not using spring boot" into "why I should learn new spring features, when I can learn same features in other projects with inherent support for cloud and native images'. In both cases I have to learn new concepts, so why I should pull all legacy of spring

Good talk, finally got how to use DevTools

How do you register interfaces like JPARepository?

Other Java Microframeworks - Massively promotes Native images support, Spring Microframework - we don't cover native images support :)
