Pro Spring Boot 3

This book will teach you how to build complex Spring applications and microservices out of the box, with minimal concern over things like configurations. Pro Spring Boot 3 will show you how to fully leverage Spring Boot 3’s robust features and how to apply them to create enterprise-ready applications, microservices, and web/cloud applications that just work.

Special focus is given to what’s been added in the new Spring Boot 3 release, including support for Java 17 and 19; changes to Spring Security; Spring Boot Actuator with Micrometer updates; GraalVM support; RSocket service interfaces; many dependency upgrades; more flexible support for Spring Data JDBC, the new AOT (Ahead-of-Time Transformation); and much more.

This book is your authoritative, pragmatic guide for increasing your enterprise Java and cloud application productivity while decreasing development time. It’s a no-nonsense reference packed with casestudies that increase in complexity over the course of the book.
