What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot lets you create stand-alone Spring-based applications and (Micro)services. Spring Boot provides ways to implement common (Micro)service patterns, such as externalized configuration, health check, circuit breaker, failover.

Spring Boot can be deployed as a bootable JAR on Red Hat Enterprise Linux or as a container on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.

Spring Boot applications are built using Maven artifacts. Red Hat supported version of Spring Boot related artifacts can be downloaded from the Red Hat Customer Portal or accessed online using the JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository.
