What is Spring Boot?

Spring Boot is a project that contains a pre configured set of dependencies for different projects which aims at reducing the time for application configuration. It allows a developer to set up a running Spring application with a small amount of code.

Why do we need Spring Boot?

Spring Boot minimizes boilerplate code. It has a predefined set of dependencies and their versions which work together. Spring Boot autoconfigures the dependencies making the developers task easier. It helps kick-start the development process.

Since it comes with an embedded server, there is no need to deploy WAR files.
