Spring Boot Tutorial

Spring Boot is the most common way to build production Java backends. It sits on top of the Spring Framework and removes most of the setup: sensible defaults, auto-configuration, starter dependencies and an embedded server, so an application can run from a single jar.

This tutorial begins with the Spring concepts that make Boot work (inversion of control, dependency injection, beans) and then covers project setup and configuration, REST API development, Spring MVC, Spring Data JPA and Hibernate, database integration with MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle and SQL Server, Spring Security including JWT and OAuth2 login, microservices, testing, and logging and monitoring. It assumes you are comfortable with core Java.
