Spring Boot makes developing Spring-based applications easy. It enables us to create production-ready applications very quickly.

In this chapter, we covered how to add features such as exception handling, caching, and internationalization to our application. We discussed the best practices of documenting REST services using Swagger. We looked at the basics of securing our microservice with Spring Security.

In the next chapter, we will shift our attention toward advanced features in Spring Boot. We will look at how to provide monitoring on top of our REST services, learn how to deploy the microservice to the Cloud, and understand how to become more productive when developing applications with Spring Boot.
