In this chapter, we discussed the basics of developing web applications with Spring MVC. We also discussed implementing exception handling, internationalization and securing our applications with Spring Security.

Spring MVC can also be used to build REST services. We will discuss that and more related to REST services in the subsequent chapters.

In the next chapter, we will shift our attention toward microservices. We will try to understand why the world is looking keenly at microservices. We will also explore the importance of applications being Cloud-Native.
