Spring is a very popular Java-based framework for building web and enterprise applications. Unlike many other frameworks which focus on only one area, the Spring framework provides a wide variety of features addressing modern business needs via its portfolio of projects.
Spring framework provides the flexibility to configure beans in multiple ways, such as XML, Annotations, and JavaConfig. As the number of features increased, the complexity also increased, and configuring Spring applications became tedious and error-prone.

A beginner-oriented walkthrough explaining why Spring Boot was created by contrasting it with traditional Spring MVC + JPA configuration. First, a full 7-step manual setup is shown (Maven dependencies, AppConfig, WebMvcConfig, DispatcherServlet registration, JPA entity, controller, Thymeleaf view) to illustrate the verbosity and boilerplate involved. Then the same application is rebuilt with Spring Boot in 5 simpler steps, demonstrating auto-configuration, starter dependencies, and embedded Tomcat. Key benefits covered: simplified pom.xml via spring-boot-starter-* artifacts, automatic bean wiring for DataSource/EntityManagerFactory/TransactionManager, embedded servlet container, and overridable defaults via application.properties.
