Making the most of available resources for Spring Boot

Whether you’re a long time user of Spring Boot or just getting started with it, there are numerous resources out there that you can leverage. Knowing what’s available for your specific need is not always obvious and this blog post is aimed toward helping you to navigate through these resources.

Learning

Reference Documentation

As a software developer, you probably already know that reading any project’s documentation can help you save a lot of time and effort. The Spring Boot reference documentation is a comprehensive document containing everything you need to know about Spring Boot. It is available in multiple formats, multi-page HTML, single-page HTML, and PDF. You can choose the one that suits your needs. The documentation is versioned, with current pointing to the latest GA release. Be sure to read the documentation of the version that you are currently on. For example, if you’re on Spring Boot 2.3.8, the reference documentation would be available at https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.3.8.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/.

Spring Boot builds on a number of other projects, each with their own reference documentation. You can find a complete list of these projects and their documentation here.

Spring Guides

The reference documentation is information-oriented and while it contains a wealth of information, it can be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. If you’re looking to get started with Spring Boot or try out specific real-world scenarios, Spring Guides provide a curated list of hands-on instructions that you can follow.

Creating Efficient Docker Images with Spring Boot 2.3

This is an update to the original blog post about creating docker images with Spring Boot 2.3.
There were a few things related to image creation that changed between the first milestone of Spring Boot 2.3 and the GA release.

The two new features introduced in Spring Boot 2.3 to help improve image creation techniques were: layered jars and buildpack support.

Layered Jars

The layered jar feature evolved quite a bit as we started adding support for custom layers. While the need to express layers that the jar should be split into for image creation was evident, changing the format of the jar to do so no longer seemed necessary.
Spring Boot 2.3 includes support for layering a jar using a layers.idx file. The layers index file provides a list of layers and the parts of the jar that should be contained within them. Layers are written in the order that they should be added to the Docker/OCI image.
