Senior Software Developer Banking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and Fast" July 19, 2023 5.0 I have developed many web based applications. The build tool I use with Spring Boot is usually the MAVEN repository. The last job I did was a registration form for company employees. Pros Thanks to Spring Boot, I was able to develop many microservices quickly. I even minimized my time wasted by writing less database code. I can easily determine the settings I will use in the application. Accordingly, I can develop software faster by making the application settings default according to the application type. Also, one of the features I love is not sticking to one IDE. For example, I can create Spring Boot projects in many IDEs such as NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Visual Studio Code. Cons Frankly, there is no feature that I do not like or that I would like to be developed for now. I can say that I like software development more with Spring Boot. Review Source NF Nancy F.
