Book Description
Spring Boot 3 brings more than just the powerful ability to build secure web apps on top of a rock-solid database. It delivers new options for testing, deployment, Docker support, and native images for GraalVM, along with ways to squeeze out more efficient usage of existing resources.
This third edition of the bestseller starts off by helping you build a simple app, and then shows you how to secure, test, bundle, and deploy it to production. Next, you’ll familiarize yourself with the ability to go “native” and release using GraalVM. As you advance, you’ll explore reactive programming and get a taste of scalable web controllers and data operations. The book goes into detail about GraalVM native images and deployment, teaching you how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules and enabling you to apply the lessons you’ve learned to any problem. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of building robust applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, then this is the book for you.
By the end of this Spring Boot book, you’ll be able to build an entire suite of web applications using Spring Boot and deploy them to any platform you need.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Greg has been an important member of the Spring Boot team, despite having a day job doing other things in the Spring Engineering effort, and we can be grateful for that, as well as the effort he has lavished on this excellent book
In this book, Greg has used his insider advantage to add Spring Boot knowledge to some old, well-seasoned favourite problems that you all will have experienced as Java developers. What better way to learn than to look at Spring Boot through the lens of tasks that we all have to solve nearly every day: creating endpoints, securing them, connecting to databases, and writing tests? This book adds some new angles to these old chestnuts by applying some modern ideas and tools, Read it yourself and enjoy – coding with Spring is still fun after all these years!”

“As an author myself, I know all too well the exhilarating and excruciating task Greg faced when writing and updating this book. Greg deftly threads this needle, providing a good foundation and then quickly shifting to topics important to developers, using Spring Boot to field real applications. Data? Security? Configuration? Integration with JavaScript? It’s in there.
I loved working with Greg on the Spring team, and I continue to enjoy every conversation we have. There will always be an honored place on my (virtual) mantle for Greg’s books, and I hope that you make room on yours for them as well. Read this book and get to know Greg! Your Spring Boot apps will benefit from both.”

“Greg’s been on the Spring team longer than I have been. He’s forgotten more than most people will ever know about the depths of Spring. He invests time in the big and the small. You can trust him to be your sherpa and guide you from beginner to Spring Boot-iful. I do.
This book covers the just-released Spring Boot 3.0, arguably the most critical release of Spring Boot (or any other Spring ecosystem project) since Spring Boot itself appeared publicly for the very first time in 2013. I know all of us on the Spring team, Greg included, worked harder and longer than ever to get this release out the door. Yet, against all that work, Greg managed to get this book in your hands in record time. He did that so we, dear readers, could get to production in record time. He did that so we would not have to invest in the big and the small.”
