Web applications

Spring makes building web applications fast and hassle-free. By removing much of the boilerplate code and configuration associated with web development, you get a modern web programming model that streamlines the development of server-side HTML applications, REST APIs, and bidirectional, event-based systems.

Developer productivity

Spring Boot is the starting point of your developer experience, whatever you’re building. Spring Boot is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible, with minimal upfront configuration. With its embedded application servers, you can be serving in seconds.
Spring’s out-of-the-box, production-ready features (like tracing, metrics, and health status) provide developers with deep insight into their applications.
Finally, Spring supports multiple JVM languages: Java, Kotlin, and Groovy.
