Spring boot or Microprofile

[Avner Sternheim]

Hi,

I want to convince my bosses to use Microprofile and not Spring boot

I have a couple of good arguments like:

1. Spring is not a standard and not using the JEE standard.

2. Due to 1, if you choose spring you are married to spring for life, unless you will use bridges.
but Spring doesn't support everything when working with bridges, for example, Spring doesn't support tracing with JAX-RS

3. Working with Spring Eco-system like Spring-cloud make the marriage even more strict and it will be almost impossible to move later on

3. Spring is heavy - it's not lightweight solution

In case you have more good arguments and good blogs/articles about that, please send them to me

thanks,

Avner Sternheim

Hi Avner,

I wrote a blog that compares MicroProfile and Spring. Towards the end, I summarised the commonality and differences.

A series of blogs about the experiment converting from Spring to MicroProfile can be found here.

Hope it helps!

Thanks

Quarkus supports MicroProfile APIs and intentionally added support for Spring APIs as well, so you can mix and match the two. See this these two (here, here) blog posts.

What is great about MicroProfile is that there are multiple implementations to choose from each with their own individual innovations. You can choose an implementation based on your business requirements. If your requirements change, you can select a different implementation that may better fit the new requirements and bring your existing API knowledge with you.
