Getting started with Spring Boot

There are different ways that Spring Boot-based application development can be started:

  • Using the Spring Boot CLI as a command-line tool
  • Using IDEs such as STS to provide Spring Boot, which are supported out of the box
  • Using the Spring Initializr project at http://start.spring.io

All these three options will be explored in this chapter, developing a variety of sample services.
