Spring boot is a framework on top of the popular spring framework. Spring boot tagline is simplifying spring for everyone
Spring boot started out with three main goals

- To provide opinionated defaults but make it easier to configure as required
- Provide common non-functional features required my most applications (e.g. embedded servers, security, metrics, health checks, externalized configuration).
