Does it make sense to use Spring Boot?

Question

Java

Hello everyone
Does it make sense to use Spring Boot if you can use idea to set the structure for a classic Spring project from a blank and then not spend energy on boot customization?

Answer 1

To get started, ask yourself what problems spring boot solves from regular spring. Then analyze for which project everything is conceived. The conclusion will be that for small projects or experiments, or simply not to be distracted by "spaghetti" xml, then use boot unambiguously, in all other cases pure spring.
Regarding idea, well, for example, suddenly you have to work not in idea, or you need to use something special, then you will be left without the magic button "ide, do it well for me" and spend a lot of time creating a project skeleton. Something like this.
