Spring Boot Microservices

Spring Boot Microservices refers to the practice of building applications using the microservices architectural style, specifically leveraging the Spring Boot framework. This approach is highly popular because Spring Boot's core features—such as auto-configuration, embedded web servers, and simplified dependency management—drastically reduce the boilerplate code and configuration required to get a service up and running. This enables developers to rapidly create independent, production-ready, and easily deployable services that can be developed, scaled, and maintained separately, which aligns perfectly with the fundamental principles of a microservices architecture.
