## Reviews

### "Easy and Fast" — 5.0/5

> **Serhat** | *19 July 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Thanks to Spring Boot, I was able to develop many microservices quickly. I even minimized my time wasted by writing less database code. I can easily determine the settings I will use in the application. Accordingly, I can develop software faster by making the application settings default according to the application type. Also, one of the features I love is not sticking to one IDE. For example, I can create Spring Boot projects in many IDEs such as NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse and Visual Studio Code.
> 
> **Cons**: Frankly, there is no feature that I do not like or that I would like to be developed for now. I can say that I like software development more with Spring Boot.
> 
> I have developed many web based applications. The build tool I use with Spring Boot is usually the MAVEN repository. The last job I did was a registration form for company employees.

> **Verified Reviewer** | *15 January 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10

>

> 
> Overall I am happy with SpringBoot. I can quickly and easily create a project and include dependencies as per my requirements.It's very easy and simple to learn coding in SpringBoot.
